Chrome browser extension allows you to circumvent the paid reading mode Wall Street Journal

Fans of freebies of free things are in any country of the world, and they refuse to pay for information not only in the CIS countries, but also in Western countries. So, for the day was presented an extension for the Chrome browser, which allows you to bypass the paid reading mode of the authoritative resource of the Wall Street Journal. Let me remind you that since half a year the electronic version of the publication has moved to a paid subscription, under which the user needs to pay about $ 2 a week for access to the site materials.

In general, $ 2 is not so much, and if some people are willing to pay much more for a good program, why not pay $ 2 a week for good articles? But, as mentioned above, many dream to hear something like “Freebie, sir”, and free reading lovers have at their disposal a plugin for Chrome. It can be downloaded for free from the Chrome Web Store . The plugin received a simple instruction Read WSJ.

The application is a script that searches the Web for cached versions of articles from the WSJ, and places a special icon in front of the titles of materials for which it was possible to find free copies. In general, everything is simple, and many Chrome users have already installed this application for themselves (mostly English-speaking users).

Naturally, the Wall Street Journal management doesn’t like this plugin very much, and now, according to representatives of the publication, negotiations are already underway with Google regarding the possibility of removing the plugin from the Chrome Web Store. In general, this does not make much sense, since this extension has already appeared in many other places.
