That hasn't worked for me, for several months now. I've had good luck with a Firefox add-on called Paywall-pass, though.


Rather than a down-vote, I'd be interested in some suggestions about what I'm doing wrong.

1. Click "web" (or alternately, Google the title of the article, verbatim from the article itself)

2. Click the appropriate link from Google, so that my referrer will be google.com.

When I do that, I still get the pay-walled article. I've tried deleting my wsj cookies and doing the same. I've tried using another computer on another network, with the same result.

That raises two questions for me: What am I doing wrong? Why do I get dinged without explanation for suggesting a second approach that does work for me?
