Big 5 Archive is a Chrome extension that auto‑opens news articles in Archive. I've been reading the Wall Street Journal every morning this year but I'm too cheap to pay for the hefty $39/mo. subscription. My routine was: open article → hit paywall → copy URL → paste into Archive. After a few dozen times that got old.

So I built Big 5 Archive: a tiny Chrome extension that automatically redirects any link from WSJ, NYT, Washington Post, L.A. Times, or USA Today to its archived, paywall‑free copy.

I had fun making this and I hope it is helpful to the news-readers out there. Feedback welcome, happy reading!
