This is really vital information as I personally had no idea it was that easy... What a great idea ! Is this true for all articles on the NYT ?

- jaclaz 7y agoYep, AFAIK. Personally I use a good, ol' simple browser (QTweb) with javascript disabled to browse/read HN, then I try opening the linked articles with it. If it works, it works, if it doesn't (not only because of paywalls or similar but often because the site has been overcomplicated/overengineered and/or uses some new features that QTweb doesn't support) I may try with a more "recent" browser. Of course with javascript disabled a number of things (like dinamically loading images) won't work and you won't be experiencing the full design of the site, but as long as the article text is readable, that does it for me most of the times.
- michaelangerman 7y agoThanks so much for your reply, you opened up my eyes and knowledge to something that is so trivial; its amazing it took me this long to figure out such a simple thing. There are so many things in life that are like that, and that is why I enjoy it :)
