So far I’ve only seen small US newspaper who did this. Is anyone angry about this?

There’s a medical website that appears in top searches (forget the name) that does it too but yeah, mostly seems to be news websites but not the big ones. In most cases Unlock Origin or the like can hide the panel they throw up to choose if you really need the info or archive or 12ft ladder can get you the info.

I think you’re referring to healthline: anon.healthline.com

That’s the one!
I love how my description of basically “it’s a website in searches” was enough for someone to figure it out 😄
