Hacker News Reader

Pro tip: click the "web" link below the article title. It will take you to a Google search for the article, whose link circumvents the paywall.

It doesn't work for me, link in result still paywalled.

Make sure your browser sends a Referer header?

And maybe right-click the link and select "Open link in incognito window" to make sure the site doesn't know if you've visited them before or not.

and put these lines in your /etc/hosts...
