Most sites want traffic from social media, and you can thus visit them with referer headers from Facebook, e.g. via https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https://www.wsj.com/article...

I don’t think that works with wsj anymore since the whole Google Amp thing. Just tried your suggestion and was met with paywall after first couple paragraphs.

Bypass Paywalls v1.2.5 by Adam

Open in private tab.

(Shh.)

Doesn't work for me on Firefox.

Click the "web" link just below the article's title. Most sites with a paywall let you read an article if you arrived at it via a google search page.

It doesn’t work, and please take the ten seconds it takes to check that your advice is relevant before you give it.
