Hacker News Reader

>Are there (tech) news-sites which do not have this 10-100MB bloat with three js framweorks and gifs, ads and whatnot?

The HackerNews comment section, with the added benefit of it being more informative.

It's kind of a PIA, but I enjoy using umatrix and ublock origin. Allows me to only turn on the stuff that I want.

There's AMP, if you don't mind trading one set of problems for another.

You could do what I do and open them in Links/Lynx, a command-line browser. You only need the text, anyways, right?

i'll compare that with ublock/umatrix. thanks!
