Solution #1: Remove Javascript and CSS.

     curl -s https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/google-to-stop-selling-ads-based-on-your-specific-web-browsing-11614780021 \
     |sed -n '/<meta property=.og:title. content=./{s//<title>/;s/\" ./<\/title/;p;}' \
     |egrep -o "(<p>.*</p>)|(<title>.*</title>)"  > 1.htm
     firefox ./1.htm

Solution #2: Use browser that does not process it.

Unfortunately some countries block archive.is websites (e.g., at DNS-level), so archive links will not work for everybody.

Solution #3: Use Bypass Paywalls

Free extension that can remove paywalls from many of the big news sites. Works on Chrome, Edge and Mozilla.

Still used to the 90s when any Level of bypassing would get you labeled as a hacker, and people would demand you get fired or arrested.

Just knowing how things worked resulted in a number of people assuming I could hack banks, and either asking me too, or shunning me. Or flat out accusing me of it.

Umm you could go around mugging people much easier then I could hack stuff. That explanation never went over well.

Had to ask one boss to stop threatening employees to have me hack them. It was in jest, but I was terrified at how people would react if they thought I bypass security. Didn’t help that I knew how, as security was crap back then.

I leaned to keep my mouth shut, and refused to keep up with security stuff. Can’t hack if I don’t know how.

To each her own, but I see the complex browser such as Chrome, Edge and Mozilla as part of the problem. Javascript too. Neither is inherently problematic, but both are too often used to create problems for users (to serve advertisers' interests) rather than to solve them. For example, without Chrome/Edge/Mozilla plus Javascript, "paywall" does not work. Yet I can still read the WSJ article just fine with either Chrome/Edge/Mozilla nor Javascript.

Much like a tech company that wants www readers to believe it is working to solve a problem www users are having that the tech company itself created (which, it just so happens, is not a problem at all for advertisers).

Useful, bookmarked your comment, thank you.
