Is this an angelfire website in the 90’s? Who the hell thought a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?

I just can’t with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there’s a embedded video as it is.

Firefox’s reader view (ctrl alt r) is a godsend for cases like these.

Regular ublock origin does a great job for both automated and manual page cleanup.

For cases when the page is still borderline unusable, Firefox’s reader view is a must.

Thanks for pointing this out. I usually read articles on mobile so I was able to find a feature I didn’t know about. For anyone else on android: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-articles-reader-view-firefox-android
