Medium is a great platform for reading high-quality articles on a variety of topics. However, it can be frustrating to be limited to only five member-only articles per month. If you’re looking for a way to read Medium articles for free, there are a few methods you can try.

Unfortunately, the incognito mode trick is no longer working. However, there are still a few other methods you can use to bypass the Medium paywall.

Incognito mode trick no longer working!

Medium has implemented a number of changes to its paywall system in recent months. One of these changes is that Medium now tracks user cookies even in incognito mode. This means that Medium can still tell how many member-only articles you have read, even if you are using incognito mode.

Methods to read Medium articles for free [Member-only]

There are a few other methods you can use to bypass the Medium paywall. One method is to use a browser extension that blocks Medium’s paywall. Another method is to use a third-party website that provides access to unlocked Medium articles.

In this guide, we will show you how to use both of these methods to read unlimited Medium member-only articles for free.

Please note that these methods may not work forever. Medium is constantly updating its paywall system, and these methods may be patched at some point in the future.

Method #2 [Not Working Now]

Below is a guide to read member-only articles on Medium free in 2024 without downloading any software or using third-party tools.

Step 1: Copy the article URL

Choose the Medium article you want to read and copy the URL. Look at the address bar of your web browser. This is where the URL of the current page is displayed.

Step 2: Use Google Cache

You just need to add the following link before the copied Medium URL.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:

For example, if the Medium URL is

https://medium.com/@tricksszone

The cached version would be

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://medium.com/@tricksszone

Step 3: Click on the text-only version
