Hacker News Reader

You could also pay for WSJ journalism. I'm surprised HN doesn't ever seem to care about this issue.

Not paying for WSJ content is a mitzvah.

The two are not mutually exclusive, and I'm not even sure about the net effect of linking to the non firewalled article. If I couldn't read any article from the WSJ, I don't know how likely would it be that I'd sign up.

fair point. Though if you never hit the firewall, you'd also probably never sign up.

Someone posted this bookmarklet the other day and it works pretty good.

javascript:location.href='https://www.google.com/webhp?#q=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + '&btnI=I'

That doesn't always work - you have to actually access it from the Google search page. Clicking on that link you posted, I still get a paywall.

Inserting a fake google refer seems to do the trick.
