Unfortunately, The Atlantic doesn't work on the free web, where users control who gets to load content on _their_ computer, rather than having the website dictate who to sell out to before seeing the text requested. Is there a different source?
- jedberg 9y agoRead their ads, pay them money, or don't read their content. Seems like a pretty fair trade off.
- viridian 9y agoThe Atlantic doesn't actually provide the second as an option without interacting with JS. There's no way for someone to subscribe if they are running ghostery+noscript like I am.
- TheRealPomax 9y agoIt absolute is, but linking to "locked content when viewed with a normal browser that has sane security addons installed" on hacker news is always bad form.
- gotorazor 9y agoYou work at Mozilla, right? Use Pocket. Or, you can use CURL. Then, view it offline if you don't want to see ads that it links to. Or, turn on no javascript/images in your browser. Or, use a text base browser. I just tried it. It works great. Same content as what I saw on the open internet -- the one with ads.
- TheRealPomax 9y agoYou mean reader mode? I have no idea how pocket would solve this problem.
