If Safari supported extensions then you'd have the ability to resolve this by installing something like Readability. If iOS supported other browsers then you could read it in a Chromium based browser, where it appears completely readable.

But why should you need extensions to go around some site disrespecting you?

Safari does support extensions. And it has built-in Reader mode. And it needs none of that for this case since the website loads perfectly fine with no zigzagging required. What Apple is doing sucks, for sure, but let’s not lose sight of reality and make stuff up or misinform people.

  Show me how to get ublock origin on safari in iOS. You can’t, and this is basically the top extension anyone wants, and so your blanket statement is also misinforming

    I didn’t say it supports all extensions from all browsers. Thanks to manifest v3 uBlock Origin will also not be viable on what is by far the most popular browser. Will you also say Google Chrome doesn’t support extensions then? It’s not like Safari can’t do ad blocking. It can, and solutions like 1Blocker are quite capable. It can even block at the system level, which is more than uBlock Origin in the browser does. Either way, none of this is relevant to your first comment. Extensions aren’t even necessary for the original complaint. Please don’t move the goalposts.

      Saying iOS safari can do extensions is like saying North Korea is a democracy, and me pointing out that it really isn’t is not moving the goal posts And yes I agree with your example, I would no longer say chrome does extensions as a blanket statement. I’d say it has restricted extension functionality.

    What a weak argument. So because uBlock Origin refuses to make an extension for iOS, extensions don’t exist? I use Wipr, and it’s been better than the beloved uBlock has ever been.

      It's not that they refuse, it's not possible to make an effective ad blocker

        That’s simply not true. Don’t take my word as an iOS dev for it, the fact that a bunch of effective ad blockers exist, one of which I use and just told you about, directly refutes your claim.
