OT: For what it's worth, the "web" link to do a google search of the article no longer brings up search results that show the whole article.

View on HN

Forbes alternative: http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevebanker/2017/02/01/amazon-pl...

I'd take WSJ over Forbes. At least WSJ doesn't host drive-by malware.

But I can actually read Forbes without payment, meaning WSJ might as well not exist as I do not intend to pay for news.

I think they understand that, but is stating they prefer no-malware & no news over malware & free news.

Thanks for downvoting me pointlessly.

If you're using Chrome, this extension should get around paywalled articles: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xray/dgkdfehohjdbm...

Gold. Worked perfectly.

The search result still opened a paywalled article but the link from "News" tab on search results worked.

It did for me.

If I click over from the search with uBlock enabled (in Firefox), I can't read the article.

If I then turn uBlock off, go back and click over again, I can read the article.

This isn't very surprising when people are giving conflicting reports about whether they can view some link. Hopefully everyone on the site that runs an adblocker sees my comment and stops whining about WSJ links (hah!).

Me too, here's the AMP link, curious if someone clicking to get the WSJ subscribe page or the full page when they access it from HN instead of directly from the Google search results:
