Alas, that 12ft.io URL requires JS for redirection.

Also, FT requires cookies to be enabled in the browser to remove the FT cookie banner, but the user cannot disable cookies on ft.com without enabling cookies in the browser and letting ft.com set a cookie.

A solution for user who disable Javascript and cookies

   echo https://www.ft.com/content/328853e8-c493-4e87-b80f-cbc02be6510c \
   1.sh > 1.htm
   firefox ./1.htm

or

   list-of-ft-urls < 1.sh > 1.htm
   firefox ./1.htm

1.sh:

    #!/bin/sh

    sed -e '/www.ft.com\/content/s>.*>url=https://12ft.io/api/proxy?ref=\&q=&>' -e 's/:/%3A/2' -e:a -e 's>/>%2F>5;ta' \
    |curl -K /dev/stdin -H "accept-encoding: gzip" -o /dev/stdout \
    |gzip -dc \
    |sed 's/div data-o-component=.o-cookie-message/!--&/'
