STR:
open a private window (with tracking protection on)
visit washingtonpost.com and click on an article (e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/11/30/why-a-hacker-is-giving-away-a-special-code-that-turns-cars-into-self-driving-machines/?utm_term=.eb1e0a88db07)
ACTUAL:
"Ugh. A Pop-up.
We noticed you're using an ad blocker. Please take a moment to support our journalists so we can get you back to the news. [Unblock The Washington Post] [Subscribe]"
Where "Unblock The Washington Post" takes me to this URL: https://www.washingtonpost.com/steps-for-disabling-adblocker/2016/09/14/a8c3d4d2-7aac-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html?utm_term=.2ced7cb0c93e
Which has these instructions: "Firefox Private Browsing
Under “Tracking Protection“ click ”Disable protection for this session.”"
Filing this because I wonder if we can make it harder to detect or should try to work with WaPo to do non-tracking advertising.

At this point, we're not going to do anything special to try and work-around paywalls.
