It's called w3m (or lynx). No seriously. Not kidding. While I'm trying to be snarky, I recently discovered how well it works to do exactly what you are asking.
Sites that need javascript, or are paranoid cloudflare prisons won't work, but otherwise it works quite well.
For walls of text (long substack articles) I still prefer epub, and use https://codeberg.org/neo1/mkebook https://codeberg.org/neo1/mkebook
which I wrote, but if you love the terminal: w3m.
Filters are done by your rss reader, newsboat has boat loads of options, but any decent one should.

- neo1 2mo agoDefuddle looks interesting, I will try it out. Thanks for pointing it out! There is another tool that on the surface appears similar to Defuddle called trafilatura: https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura It was OK, but I wasn't happy with it, as it kept stripping the comments sections.
