There are a few methods people use to get past the Chegg paywall, though many come with limitations or ethical considerations:
- Using alternative websites like Textsheet or Slader: Previously, sites like textsheet.com allowed users to paste a Chegg URL and get the answer without a paywall. However, Textsheet has been taken down, so it no longer works. Slader.com is another site offering free textbook solutions and some Q&A, which can be an alternative to Chegg
- Free trial offers: Chegg often provides a free trial period for new users, during which you can access answers without paying. Utilizing this trial is a legal way to see answers for free temporarily
- Asking services like Assignments4u: Some services claim to provide free Chegg answers by submitting your question and receiving the solution via email, though caution is advised regarding privacy and reliability
- Browser tricks: Some users disable JavaScript in their browsers to bypass paywalls on various sites, but this may not reliably work on Chegg and can break site functionality
- Using VPNs: While Chegg may attempt to track IP addresses, using a VPN can help maintain privacy, but it does not bypass the paywall itself
- Having a friend with a subscription: Getting help from someone who has a Chegg membership is another option to access answers
It is important to note that there is no official or guaranteed way to unblur Chegg answers without a subscription, and many "hacks" are temporary or unreliable. The ethical and recommended approach is to use Chegg’s free trial or subscribe legally. Alternative free resources like Slader or Course Hero may also help. Avoid sites that ask for payment after collecting your personal details, as these can be scams
. In summary, while there are some unofficial workarounds, the reliable legal methods are using Chegg’s free trial, accessing alternative free sites like Slader, or getting help from someone with a subscription
