Weird, they don't allow you to use "private/incognito" browsing unless you pay a fee. Simple solution to the problem though, I just won't go to washingtonpost.

While effective and (some might argue) the only way to deal with the washington post.. You can also just disable javascript with dev tools

  The best way to deal with said tom-foolery on the web is to just not go to those sites.

    IMO it’s not safe to leave JavaScript enabled for the majority of sites anyway (especially news sites due to the advertising networks.)

      Not a fan of having malware on my computer. Not a fan of being tracked and my information sold to the highest bidder. Interestingly enough, everything in my place is paid for. So it seems i am a fan of paying for things. Just not for the abuse Web companies elect to inflict.

      I think you've replied to the wrong comment though, because they aren't taking the thing they aren't paying for, a course which lots of other comments in the surrounding context are recommending.

If you are using Chrome, you can simply create a separate profile and treat it as an incognito profile, by clearing browsing data whenever needed. Unlike the incognito mode, it isn't possible to detect the use of such profiles.

  I recently paid for washingtonpost.com in an experiment to support the publishers. Even after paying, there were still a hugely distracting number of ads embedded every few paragraphs. In addition, I got bombarded with emails from multiple mailing lists.

You can put the headline or URL into google and click on it from there now. This seems to work. Cant wait for new browser updates that make it so websites do not know that you are in incognito.
