It may let you read some sites, but it has never worked for me. I constantly run in to paywalls despite using this.

Do you have any examples? I have never seen a paywall while using this. They have a list of supported sites, though I'm not sure if all of them are guaranteed to work 24/7 or if they need frequent updates.

Basically all the large national news sites where I live are unaffected by this filter. This article for example has a paywall when i visit.

You should submit some issues for those sites with these steps - maybe they'll add them to the list. The addon supports 453 sites at the moment by my count, so I'm sure they'd love for you to tell them about more sites that haven't been bypassed yet.
