A warning that this link redirects through Facebook for me for some reason.
- ngoel36 9y agoThat's the point :). (WSJ doesn't apply the paywall for social media links)
- kbenson 9y agoFirefox containers really helped with this (the worry of going through Facebook, that is). I have a Facebook Container (which facebook always opens in), and a News Container (which I just set WSJ to always open in. The redirect goes through both containers, and facebook obviously sees the referral and knows where I was redirected to (since it confirms I want to leave FB), but at least when I end up at WSJ any direct Facebook tracking links (cookies) aren't shuttled with me (they just have to rely on their massive dataset of information to link me as they would for any random request, which I'm sure they can...)
