You just want to read text? How pedestrian. Don't you want to visit a blog post, stare at a blank screen for a couple seconds while a couple dozen HTTP requests are shot off for the JS, and then grabbed using an XHR? Or even better, a WebSocket? It's a modern convenience few people would want to give up!

- hexagonc 13y agoauto-play video ads should be disabled at the OS level
