This is a work around. Yahoo does not allow showing their news in an iframe, which we currently implement. Again, this is just experimental. We could use another news source which allows iframe. And there won't be a need for the proxy approach.

We think this actually is helpful to the content owner, in our opinion, as it allows more access to their content.

By having the content shown in iframe, it makes it easier for users to navigate without opening lots of tabs in the web browser.

Everything is preserved in the original site. It helps the content owner by making more of their content accessible to the users.

The honest way of accomplishing this is to just link to the page.
