The latest trick for wsj articles is to append /amp before /article

More readable, less ads, and no-paywall.

And it's even available in the page as a link: <link rel="amphtml" href="http://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/amazon-reports-surge-in-prof...

That's a call for a browser extension!

No need for a browser extension, just throw this into your ~/.js

    var ampLink = document.querySelector('link[rel="amphtml"]');
    if (ampLink) {
      var href = ampLink.getAttribute('href');
      if (href) {
        location.replace(href, false);
      }
    }

EDIT: woa! this works really wall ;)

Interesting - What browser / OS is that file meant for?

Firefox: https://github.com/rlr/dotjs-addon

Chrome: https://github.com/defunkt/dotjs

This was the only of the above "tricks" that worked for me without having to allow too much crazy javascript junk.

Side note: I hate any website that try to load more than 5 js scripts.
