Actually, it's interesting reading an article with just text and nothing else. It kind of makes me want a text-based browser mode that works on modern sites.
- dao- 8y agoYou mean Reader View? I believe Safari pioneered this, Firefox has it too. Not sure about Chrome and Edge.
- black6 8y agoChrome will do it, but Google doesn't like to make it easy for you to remove content/noise. In Windows you have to add --enable-dom-distiller to the end of "Target" in the shortcut properties. Then it shows up as "Distill page" in the drop-down menu. Edge has reader mode, but it won't work for every webpage (seems to not work for the noisiest ones, where you really want it).
- nerdponx 8y agoThe "reader mode" in Safari and Firefox is pretty good.
- vanderZwan 8y agoNow if only we could directly open articles in text mode, and save ourselves the pain of loading (or at least rendering) all the crap first. Like a right-click menu option next to the "Open in new tab/window/private tab" options
- nerdponx 8y agoAs far as I can tell, the Firefox reader mode algorithm needs the entire page loaded in order to figure out what part of the page is actual content. It's necessary because nowadays you can't tell from the HTML alone.
- vanderZwan 8y agoI guess that makes sense, but even then: loading is not the same as rendering to screen. I don't know which of the two is the bigger drain on resources in mobile, but it can still help.
