Does anyone know of a comparison between the GetFTR browser extension and the UnPayWall browser extension?</div>

We can't ask our patrons to install multiple such extensions so it would be good to have a sense of which is the better one to ask for.</div>

I admit that this is the first I'm learning of the GetFTR service, and would appreciate unbiased advice and comparisons.</div>
