Nothing new in this article, but since we're there, here's how I minimize this problem: * On the desktop, clicking on Firefox's readability button has become almost second-nature to me when I end up on news sites (speaking of which, what do you guys on Chrome use?). * For longer articles, I'll often whip up my Kobo and read the articles synced from Pocket. * On mobile, I also use Pocket (used to enjoy the readability feature on my old iPhone too). And finally, most of the annoying popups and other conversion-whoring anti-user features are neutralized with an extension such as uMatrix, but using it requires quite a bit of daily maintenance overhead so I don't bother anymore.
