I found a certain irony in the title of this piece given that when I first opened the article, I was greeted with, "You've reached your article limit. Register to read up to three articles each week or subscribe now for just €20", and then I switched to incognito mode and defeated their security.

(I'm actually an Economist subscriber, I just wasn't logged in.)

I tend to disable JavaScript when reading on economist.com, just less annoying.

It's strange that their website is so bad (lots and lots of ads, basically unusable without an ad-blocker) while their apps (in particular, Espresso) are a joy to use.
