Hacker News Reader

With Privacy Badger and Firefox's Tracking Protection, I have no issue with Bloomberg pages. Reading View (F9) improves on this even further, and just shows me the text.

I thought this comment was being overly-dramatic but after clicking on the link it is exactly that bad.

(I got "We've detected unusual activity from your computer network" with a captcha.)

The muted overlay is so obnoxious and distracting. Am I missing the x button or is there really no way to close it?

Safari reader mode helps a lot on sites like Bloomberg if you're on a Mac.

And if you hold down on the reader icon, it gives you the choice to always go straight to reader mode when on [insert site].

Press F9 when you're on Firefox to get a good reading experience.

I have a Chrome bookmarklet specially for Bloomberg. Instant relief with a single click:

javascript: document.getElementById('paywall-banner').remove(), document.getElementsByClassName('right-rail')[0].remove(), document.getElementsByClassName('left-column')[0].remove(), document.getElementById('navi').remove(), document.getElementsByClassName('zipr-recirc')[0].remove()

Bloomberg is one of those sites I have flagged for domain-wide application of a readability addon.
