Oh, my god. Is there a browser extension or a third party website or anything out there that does this for all websites? I haven't had much luck, but that's partially because some sites have chosen to make themselves unusable without javascript enabled.

NPR, thank you for this subdomain <3

"Reader Mode" is built into Firefox. (Dunno about chrome, I don't use that)

There is also https://outline.com

+1 for Outline

You have no idea how helpful this is to me right now. I am in Chile on the most abominably slow pre-paid cell phone connection. I'm reading this from the mountains as we speak

Thank you so much

Put the phone down! :-)

But I need to take photos like this! [1]

We have service here, believe it or not. There's even wifi at 9,000ft in elevation. We're at 13,000 feet right now

If Firefox does not offer the reader mode button/icon for a page, you can still use it using this:

about:reader?url=<insert url here>

I only learned about it from their GDPR notice. I declined tracking permission and they gave me the best version ever!

Safari's "Reader Mode" also does this.

Thank you, unfortunately I don't have an iToy anymore, the battery exploded :*(

You can also automatically enable "Reader Mode" for a single domain or all domains by pressing the reader mode button for like 2 seconds. Which is something I just recently discovered. I like this feature a lot on my iPhone. It can also be automatically enabled on macOS in the same way.

Thanks, this is useful to me.

It is also often useful to get rid of the "you've used up your 10 articles for the month" messages that obscure article text.
