Ask HN: uBlock Origin Filters for WSJ?
2 points by react_burger38 1457 days ago
I used to really like the WSJ, and am a paid subscriber, but recently they put up some script that makes me disable my adblocker. Anyone have a way to get around that with uBlock origin or anything else? Some of the ads are very annoying.

You should contact them and ask to remove the script, or you will unsubscribe. If no one tells them, they cannot justify internally to remove the script.

Search the article url on https://archive.today/ - most are already archived, read the archived copy.

If not archived, then archive it, then read the archived copy.

Prepend "https://archive.is/" to the url see if it has been added.

I use the following as a bookmarklet:

     javascript:(function(){window.location="https://archive.is/"+window.location;})();
The FAQ has some other tips that are useful:
