Just disable javascript in ublock origin for the site and you don't have to even worry about clicking anything. Lots of news sites deliver the content and then try to block access to it using javascript.


You don't need uBo to block JavaScript, you can do that right in the browser.

But often blocking JS means parts of the article don't display or the site breaks in other ways. Washington Post for example only shows blurry placeholder photos with JS off.

The kill-sticky or the element zapper in uBo can sometimes do what blocking JS cannot.
