  Why does this work?

    This simulates an outgoing link from an article shared on Facebook. Apparently, the WSJ has chosen not to paywall articles users get to from Facebook shares. Spoofing the referer header to a google search also has this effect, and I think that's what the bypass extension I linked does.

      It's also what the "web" link on hn lets you do. No crazy add-ons required.

        The "web" link does a google search for the headline, which eventually leads to the same result in most cases.
