Non-paywall version?
- ericleung 9y agoYou can do the same trick that used to work with Google, but with Facebook instead. Search the text of the title in Facebook and follow the link through. Could also probably modify some header or something to achieve the same thing.
- jcsnv 9y agoThank you, TIL!
- Overtonwindow 9y agoGet Brave, it works very well.
- _dark_matter_ 9y agoIt is still blocked in Brave.
- Overtonwindow 9y agoAh I was meaning to say use Brave as it will by pass adblock walls.
- Overtonwindow 9y agoAlso if you run into an adblock-wall, use Brave, it can skip around most of those.
- dhruvkar 9y agoSame can be done with twitter search.
- thefreeman 9y agoYou also may have to clear your browser storage (for wsj.com) if you've already visited it from this link or google.

- gnicholas 9y agoFYI, the WSJ recently launched a partnership with my startup, which gives our users free access to unlimited WSJ content. Our app and Chrome extension are free also. www.ReadAcrossTheAisle.com
- loxias 9y agoThis is great news, I was just thinking that I was annoyed at their paywall... What's the catch?
- gnicholas 9y agoThere is literally no catch. I just launched this as an offshoot from my main startup, and I have no plans for direct monetizing of Read Across The Aisle. The only way that I benefit is that this app raises awareness for my other startup. See my response to a sister comment for more details!
- majewsky 9y agoBut why would the WSJ consent to this? I find it exceedingly hard to believe that they don't get anything in return.
- gnicholas 9y agoBranding, I think? They also get access to our across-the-aisle user base, so it's possible they're not losing too much revenue with the partnership. To be honest, I've been surprised at the interest this project had received from major media companies. We actually were almost acquired by a large media company that wanted to build a new brand and put Read Across The Aisle as a central part of it.
- narsil 9y agoIt appears the extension would like to read and change the data on any website I visit. I assume users are the product here, so this appears somewhat sketchy since I'm not sure what personal data of mine is being sold.
- alphast0rm 9y agoYou can add this as a bookmark to circumvent the paywall (remove the parentheses in https though, works with WSJ/NYT/etc.): window.location.href='http(s)://m.facebook.com/l.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
