You could probably recreate that with a web scraper and browser plugin:
Use the bloated webpage several times while a learning algorithm watches which links you click. Once it's trained, it then renders the document in an invisible frame buffer, extracts the clickable links, and presents them to you on a clean UI.
If privacy weren't a concern, the plugin could aggregate clicks to the same site among different users and learn much faster. So it watches 500 users visit yelp.com and notices none of them click on the ad or the privacy policy, so the ad link us stripped from the simplified view.
Something similar could be done with news sites. Render that bloat off screen, extract the article, render it in a 1990's style page (or just a json file that can be rendered however you like, say in lynx)
