NYTimes has a leaky paywall to allow people to try their site, become interested, and then become subscribers. It has nothing to do with Google. Google only requires that a search result allows a person to click on results. WSJ has a stronger paywall that allows clicks through Google. That's why with the WSJ you have to do a search on a story headline, and then click on the results - you can't go directly through WSJ. Re: Incognito Mode - the reason that works is it starts you out without any cookies. You've effectively cleared "all" your coookies. Re: Supporting these sites - if you would really potentially face financial ruin, then that's a much different reason than you originally gave, which was that you felt like you would be a jackass for reading a site that you could hack into for free. The "I can't afford it" at least makes sense. I've personally decided that $3.75/week is worth it for me , but your financial situation may be different than mine, and I can at least appreciate that logic. Re: Adblock - don't use it - though, not for any desire to support the sites, just isn't a big enough deal for me to worry about it.
