I've been using outline.com, pasting the URL after their domain converts it. For example, the ad-ridden (54 trackers and counting!) Rolling Stone site becomes: https://outline.com/abFy5N https://outline.com/abFy5N

ublock, umatrix, and the built-in firefox ad block results in a number of requests that two orders of magnitude smaller, 1/20 of the download size, and 4% of the loading time. https://i.imgur.com/9GxATlN.png https://i.imgur.com/9GxATlN.png

  1200~ requests, 1 minute to load what is basically an ad for a book. Unacceptable, Rolling Stone!
