There seems to be a general return to plaintext tools like HN: danluu.com, plumebio.com and lite.cnn.com

  I think it has always been popular in the bubble that frequents HN, I wouldn't go that far to say there's a general return to plain text. The rest of the world would still think it looks like the website is broken if it looks like lite.cnn.com

    > The rest of the world would still think it looks like the website is broken if it looks like lite.cnn.com For me it's the opposite. In "regular" cnn.com I obtain an empty page (probably due to my overzealous adblocker), yet in lite.cnn.com I can read the news.

      Yes, but you are "in the bubble that frequents HN" ;)

  I had no idea that CNN had a "lite" version. Do you know any other major sites that have lite versions?
