The "web" link has never worked for me (located in the EU, using Firefox on Linux). I'm assuming it works for some people, or it wouldn't be still there, but it doesn't work for everyone.
Right click - privacy window, it will work.
I prefix or affix the URL for some routing tricks. Which is something HN does not.
Kept it for myselve, but I'm reading less and less paywalled articles.
Once the trick comes known, I'll expect it to disappear though
