[Ads-l] "skeleton" (the sliding sport)

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

I just followed the twitter link with the Chrome browser and the link
did bypass the paywall.
Earlier when I followed the link with the Firefox browser the link did
not bypass the paywall, but there might be a problem a security
plug-in I use with Firefox. I disabled the plug-in and still was
blocked, but it still might be a problem related to the plug-in.
