I sometimes wish these news publications would just use Medium or similar blogging platforms.

It's ironic that online publishers are paying coders to make reading their publications so awful that the companies who write browsers pay other coders to remove the awfulness.

- dublinben 11y agoIt's not perfect, but I find most news sites to be more readable after turning off CSS. The text will properly fill your window, and there are no annoying typefaces.

- pmontra 11y agoIn part because text formatted into many shorter lines is easier to read. The longer the line and the more space you need between lines. This is basic typography [1]. But that doesn't account for the white space on the top. I don't get that in my Firefox but I checked with Chromium and I see it. It's the advertising/social buttons banner. Once again adblockers win the day. [1] http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/text-typography/line-spacing-for-text http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-2/text...
