There seems to be a growing movement of web designers/developers who think that their header is interesting enough to fill half the screen on mobile (in landscape).

Firefox reader mode. It fixes the web, and it makes me slightly sad.

  I am seriously thinking of making a small web that parses HN and shows the links in a decent way and when clicking something it opens it with automatic styles like Firefox reader mode. The % of decent (as in readable) articles / articles in HN is too low, and Firefox reader mode fixes them all (so far 100% correct for me after years).

        The content loads from his API rather than the website itself, and also there is an Android app made by him. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn I have noticed that some websites are actively obfuscating the content on their page to prevent it being loaded by content-viewers (like the website or the app). I've had to email him to fix an issue in the app and he pushed a change to the Play store fairly quickly.

First thing I did was remove the navbar in inspect element. It gives you so much more space.

Hey, they didn't immediately cover the article I came to read with a full-screen ad to get me to subscribe to something completely unrelated. On the modern web, that's deserves an award!
