Does this redirect work with all of WSJ articles? Nice.

  Nice indeed... Does anyone know if there is a browser plugin (pref. Chrome) to bypass the paywalls of popular sites?

    This is a bookmarklet rather than a plugin, but just as good: http://mattbusse.com/bypass-the-wall-street-journal-paywall-faster-with-a-browser-bookmarklet/ http://mattbusse.com/bypass-the-wall-street-journal-paywall-... Or, if you don't mind losing the layout, this bookmarklet will get you directly to the "mobile" version of the article without the intermediate click through Google: http://www.labnol.org/internet/read-wall-street-journal-articles-free/4612/ http://www.labnol.org/internet/read-wall-street-journal-arti...

      Appending http://www.google.com/url?q= http://www.google.com/url?q= to the URL seems to be the key. Seems to be working fine.

        Yeah, I might put together a browser plugin that does that to the current page URL when I hit a button!

          Voilà bookmarklet; should work on all WSJ articles (and ones from other sites that also remove the wall for Google inbound links, I suppose): javascript:window.location="http://www.google.com/url?q=+escape(window.location) http://www.google.com/url?q=+escape(window.location);

    BreakthePaywall! is a free add-on for Internet Explorer (Firefox coming soon!) that simplifies using the various methods for circumventing website paywall restrictions. http://www.breakthepaywall.com http://www.breakthepaywall.com
