Abo-Lotse

Swiss publishers publish the same article on several of their newspapers. If you subscribe to one of them and follow a link to a sister title, you end up on a website where your subscription does not apply, even though the very same article is included in your subscription. Abo-Lotse fixes that. Choose your newspaper once. When you open an article on a sister title, Abo-Lotse checks in the background whether the same article is available at your newspaper and takes you there, so you can read it with your own subscription. Abo-Lotse does not unlock any content. It only leads you to articles that your own subscription covers. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your newspaper on the welcome page (at most one per publisher group). • A short notice tells you where you are being taken. "Read now" goes straight away, "Stay here" keeps you on the page and is remembered for that article. • The countdown is adjustable from 0 to 5 seconds. With 0 you are taken there immediately. • If the article is not available at your newspaper, you stay on the page and a small notice in the corner tells you so. It can be turned off. • Tracking parameters such as utm_* or fbclid are removed on the way. SUPPORTED NEWSPAPERS Version 1.0 supports the daily newspapers of the Swiss publisher Tamedia in German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Redirects only happen between newspapers that share their articles. The complete list is shown on the extension's welcome page and at https://github.com/srueegger/abolotse. More publishers are planned.
