The archive sites work great, even for WSJ articles. I just checked after I saw your comment saying archive.ph doesn't work for WSJ articles, and it works fine for archiving WSJ articles.
It's cuts off the particular article I want to read, so seems like there is a word limit! Drat!
Have you tried a different browser but still using the archive pages?
Which article? That is interesting, I haven't had that issue yet, but I just started using these archived pages a couple weeks ago so I'm curious about their limits
Okay, thanks. I tested a bunch of articles in duckduckgo and haven't come across that yet, but I'll test a cross browsers and see what happens. I'll pay attention to the fading text.
