Hacker News Reader

The point of the Google search is to take advantage of Google's "First Click Free"[1]. Quoting: "A user coming from the domain [.google.] must be able to see a minimum of 3 articles per day."

I get this too, because I refuse to send referer(sic) headers and have disabled them in my browser settings. To use the 'one weird trick' of doing a Google search, you need to send the referer info saying you came from a Google search link.

Try checking your browser's privacy settings, or test using a site like this: https://www.darklaunch.com/tools/test-referer

Works for me to bypass the paywall.
