Reader mode is basically the lifehack that makes the web not suck. Combined with ad blockers, the web is pleasant. Every time I see a default plain vanilla browser on a web page I'm shocked how some people live.
the overflow property in HTML controls what happens in a given element when its contents extend past the element's boundaries, in other words when the contents overflow.
Overflow has 4 possible values (AFAIK): visible, scroll, auto, and hidden, where:
visible does not clip the content and lets it extend past the parent element,
scroll clips the content and adds a scrollbar so that the user can see the rest of the content,
auto adds a scrollbar only when necessary,
and hidden clips the content that extends past the parent and doesn't add a scrollbar.
Some paywalled/loginwalled sites load all of the article content regardless of whether the wall is up or not, so when a paywall pops up you can just go into the Inspect tool (usually CTRL+SHIFT+I) and delete the element containing the paywall, and/or, as some_random_nick said, change the article container's overflow property from hidden to scroll, letting you see all of the content
That’s what reader mode is for. Works probably 85% of sites.
And refreshing the page while still in reader mode.
I’ve been using that method for years now. Works a good number of the time.
Reader mode also works beautifully on mobile for sites that're otherwise friendly but have a clunky layout on width-constrained windows

Well you're not fucking wrong mate
Use element zapper tool from ublock origin
Also, don't forget to set
overflowfromhiddentoscroll.I'm gonna need you to elaborate on this because it sounds super helpful, but I don't understand

I still have no idea how that works. I should probably read the instructions
Slamming ctrl+P and reading the print preview works in many cases as well
Owner’s unknown, wonder if it’s just an “information wants to be free” minded person
Edit: that’s what Wiki said but the Internet seems to think it’s some guy from New York
I always get stuck in a captcha loop with them, but I have an Apple News subscription so I can just open in News most the time.
Meanwhile, I'm the cleaning guy, arriving with
12ft.ioI wish I was fast enough to do that or Ctrl + p.
At least sites like archive(dot)is and stuff exist.
Sometimes you xan just select all, copy and paste in word too
If you want keyboard shortcuts in your terminal ctrl+x e opens the current command in your editor. When you save you can then run the command.
I don’t think this works with all shells but it’s easy to set up in modern ones.
I thought it was Alt+V. Might be shell-dependent?
CTRL + P and article mode enters the chat
