The paywall issue has been discussed extensively. If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the threads.

This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here:

Just clear your site cookies and refresh.

which one lol. My browser says its using 243, just incredible.

On Firefox I just had to clear the *.wsj.com cookies and then refresh.

Also on firefox, right click "open in new private window" worked... but I don't think it always does. Maybe something to do with my ip address?

Recently some sites are using HTML5 client-side storage for their paywalls, not just cookies. Forget Me for Chrome seems to get them all, though. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/forget-me-clean-hi...

Even opening in a clean incognito window hits the paywall

that doesn't work on wsj.

Worked for me on Firefox. I'm not sure why.
