Bugged by Web Sites that Require Registration?

You know the ones we're talking about. A friend sends you the URL for some interesting news story, but when you click it, you get a page insisting that you provide personal information such as your name and e-mail address (and sometimes even a physical address and phone number) before you'll be allowed to read the story. This is annoying for two reasons: it feels like a breach of your privacy - especially those sites that make dozens of fields mandatory - and it takes extra time.

Well, now there's a way around these compulsive information-gatherers. Just copy and paste the offending site into this application and it will give you a password.
NOTE Have been using this now for 6 months and it works well.
