There are many ways you can read Quora answers without signing in.
You do not have to ask this question in Quora.com.
I already have the answer how to unblock and read all Quora answers.
Welcome to another original article from The DiGiztal Bypass Paywalls Tips series.
This is an updated post how to read all the answers on Quora without having to register.
The original post was published back in January 2020.
As it is, if you are a non-member of Quora, you can only view answers to one question.
Unless you sign into your Quora account or via Facebook or Google.
If you do not have an account with Quora, if you continue to view the following answer to any of the question, you find that you have been blocked by a white login-register box.
The whole page will become out-of-focus in a dull grey color.

Here are various workable ways to read all the locked Quora answers without signing in.
All these methods how to bypass login to continue on Quora work for both Firefox and Chrome.
1. Add ?share=1 to URL
By adding the tag: ?share=1 at the end of the Quora thread URL, you can browse Quora answers without logging in.
This is what you do:
For example, if the URL is: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-read-more-books
Just add ?share=1 next to the word "books".
Now the the URL should look like this:
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-read-more-books?share=1
Paste this new URL onto the address bar.
Press the "Enter" key of your keyboard.
Instantly you can view the unblocked page.
2. Use the question URL
This is what you do:
When you encounter the login-register box, you highlight and copy the URL of that question.
It is on the address bar above the blocked page.
Now open a new tab of your browser.
Paste this question URL onto the Google search box.
Click "Google Search" button or press the "Enter" key of your keyboard.
You can see the question in the Google search results.
Click it and you can view the whole page with all the answers.
To read the next question and answer, repeat the procedure as explained above.
3. Bypass Paywalls Clean extension
Just install the browser extension to your browser.
Set up once, and and you can continue reading all the Quora question-and-answer.
Besides Quora, you can use it to read all the articles free in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Financial Times.
For Firefox, refer to this tutorial: How to install Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox
For Chrome, refer to this tutorial: How to install Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Chrome
NOTE: you can also use this method to read Quora Plus for free.
4. Clear browsing data, cache and cookies
This is what you do:
After you have just read or view the first question, DO NOT click to the next question.
Clear the browser cookies first.
Click "History" at the menu bar which is at the top of your computer screen.
Then click "Clear Recent History..."
Make sure the "Cookies" under "History" is checked (with a tick in the box).
Click "Clear" button.
Now click the next question which you want to read.
It will load the page, without being blocked by the registration/Login box.
5. Add a dot after .com
This is what you do:
When you come to the blocked Quora answer, you add a dot AFTER the top-level domain .com.
For example if the Quora question URL is:
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-download-Google-books-for-free
Add a dot after the top-level domain, com.
So now the URL should looks like this:
https://www.quora.com./How-do-I-download-Google-books-for-freeh
I highlighted the dot in yellow color.
Press on the “Enter” key or click the curved arrow icon at the address bar, to reload the page.
6. Block cookies and site data
Just like method #3, you set it up once for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.
From there, you can continue reading unlimited Quora.com answers.
This is what you need to do:
Mozilla Firefox:
Go to your Mozilla Firefox browser.
Click "Open menu" (three horizontal lines icon) at the top right hand corner of your computer screen.
It drops down the context menu.
Click "Options" and a page appears.
Next click "Privacy & Security" on the left side of the page.
Scroll down a little bit until you see "Cookies and Site Data".
Click "Manage Exceptions..." button.
A box pops up, titled "Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data".
In the space below "Address of website", paste or type in:
https://www.quora.com
Click the "Block" button.
You can see Quora domain listed under "Website" and its "Status" as "Block".
Finally click the "Save Changes" button.
Now you can read as many Quora question-and-answer as you want.
Google Chrome Browser:
Go to Google Chrome browser.
When you come to settings page, click "Privacy and security".
Next click on "Site Settings".
Scroll all the way down and click "Additional content settings".
Scroll down until you see "On-device site data", click it.
Again scroll down until "Customize behaviors".
Go to "Not allowed to save data on your device".
Click the "Add" next to it.
A box pops up.
This is where you type in:
[*.]quora.com
Then click the "Add" button.
At the same time, you can see the cookie icon ( a stack of cookies with a slash line) on the Chrome toolbar.
7. Unblur Quora extension
Just install the browser extension Unblur Quora from Chrome Web Store.
NOTE: The one in Firefox is NOT working.
When you encounter the blur or blocked Quora page, click the Unblur Quora extension icon at the toolbar.
This extension has been disabled because of Chrome's new Manifest V3 standard.
But you can still enable back, by following this tip, "How to enable back uBlock Origin in Chrome Web Store 2025".
Here is another similar browser extension for Firefox only: Quora Explorer.
8. Hover Paywall extension
You can also use browser extension called Hover Paywall to access Quora content.
Chrome has removed this extension because it is phasing out support for extensions based on Manifest V2.
To learn how to enabled back the this browser extension, refer to this Hover Paywall extension tutorial.
Once you have Hover extension installed in your browser, you can keep reading all the Quora answers.
9. Private browsing
There are folks who use the private browsing function in their browser to continue reading Quora content.
For Firefox, it is called "Open Link in Private Window", and Chrome is called "Open link in incognito window".
Instead of just click on the next question and blocked by its paywall, right click on it
A menu box pops up, click "Open Link in Private Window" (in Firefox) or click "Open link in incognito window" (in Chrome).
This time you can view content without being blocked by its login box.
If you are using Firefox, you can still stay at the Private window page to continue reading the following question, by right clicking it.
It would open a new private page.
But if you are using Chrome, the "Open link in incognito window" function in the private page is disabled.
You need to go back to the Quora website to click "Open link in incognito window" to read the following question.
These are various ways to access Quora without an account.
NOTE: These methods may not involve direct hacking or unauthorized access, they can still violate anti-circumvention laws and terms of service. Consider using the legal and ethical ways to access paywalled web articles.
