  It's enough to switch off JS. It works for 99% of similar nags BTW.

    It isn't for me. I get redirected to https://www.forbes.com/consent/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/09/08/microsoft-windows-7-monthly-charge-windows-10-free-upgrade-cost/ https://www.forbes.com/consent/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com... , which shows empty. :-/

      You need to switch it off before redirect, i.e. before clicking the link.

        I have it disabled all the time. It doesn't help. The redirect is done by the server, before it had a chance to learn if the client supports JS or not: $ wget --max-redirect=0 https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/09/08/microsoft-windows-7-monthly-charge-windows-10-free-upgrade-cost/ --2018-09-09 19:07:58-- https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/09/08/microsoft-windows-7-monthly-charge-windows-10-free-upgrade-cost/ Resolving www.forbes.com (www.forbes.com)... 151.101.114.49 Connecting to www.forbes.com (www.forbes.com)|151.101.114.49|:443... connected.

          That's very interesting. For me the behavior is 100% consistent. Paste the URL in the address bar with JS enabled - get a blank page. Paste it with JS disabled - get straight to the destination.
