This article is paywalled, which makes it difficult to read more than a few paragraphs.

Very annoying, but there is a relatively quick workaround for those that don't know: On Chrome, Inspect the page and go to settings, then click 'Disable JavaScript'. Reload with Inspect open and you should be able to bypass most paywalls.

Does this trick work on mobile safari where you can disable JS?

Edit - It does! Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JavaScript, and turn the toggle to “off”.

I’m sure lots of things you are used to no longer work when you disable JS. I’d recommend making a shortcut!

I'm reading it on Materialistic HN app

The browser inside the app has JavaScript disabled

Why on Chrome? Works identically in Palemoon — and so I’d presume in Firefox.
