Damn, I've been using it more and more as JS-walls have become more
frequent and prevent me reading pages in lightweight web browsers

Thanks, yes that has the article. It wasn't actually behind a
paywall, but using one of these cache services like Cloudflare that
can block access from browsers without Javascript saying something
like "Enable Javascript and cookies to continue". I thought
"JS-wall" was a good term for it since the effect is like a paywal,
only they demand you run their JS rather than demand payment.

recommend testing "your news article" in search engines, e.g.:

etcetera...then test some search result links to see if they'll open
in whatever browser(s) you may be using (usually some links do work)

if "your news article" is mainstream (e.g. politics "breaking news"),
then odds are many dozens of different websites will be carrying the
same story and in many languages, hence point of view (two sides of
the same coin), protagonists and antagonists ... they're all united
(for every action, there is an equal and opposite action altogether)
