This article is now basically an excuse for a ton of pop-overs and pop-unders that make the site unusable. It seems that the publisher has decided to maximise their revenue from the HN hug.
Shame.
Shame.
Wow, someone is actively working to squeeze the incoming traffic.
However, they are also the only media outlet that has paywalls, and I'd be fine with that if it ended there - high quality investigative journalism has a price.
The problem is that they also have a shit ton of third-party malware networks embedded on their pages, and even if you pay for a digital subscription you still get tracked and bombarded with ads. Then to add further insult, they block ad-blockers.
The solution is two fold: the Hebrew EasyList [1] blocks the anti ad-block elements allowing you to continue to view Haaretz without ads and without blocking. Second, if you want to jump over the paywall, there's an addon for that [2].
