Medium Parser

Medium parser is a web browser extension to help read the member-only articles on medium.com

Installation Instructions

Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Chromium Browsers (Brave/Opera Mini) (Custom sites supported)

Or install manually

1. Download this repo as a ZIP file from GitHub.
2. Unzip the file and you should have a folder named medium-parser-extension-main.
3. In Chrome/Edge go to the extensions page (chrome://extensions or edge://extensions).
4. Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle button on the top right side of the browser.
5. Drag the medium-parser-extension-main folder anywhere on the page to import it (do not delete the folder afterward).

Mozilla Firefox (Custom sites not supported)

Troubleshooting

• This extension pulls the data from webcache.googleusercontent.com; then removes all the scripts and sends back the html and css contents only. It might not work when there is no data from the request.
• For archive.is, it simply redirects you with the data.
