Hacker News Reader

Use firefox reader mode.

or ublock origin, or outline.com

This is seriously the only way I'm able to read three quarters of the websites I visit on mobile these days.

It seems to crash or otherwise reload frequently as well, at least in Safari on my iPad.

After a while I put it in reader mode, until it reloaded crapify mode again :-(

Note to Wired staff: surely you can do something that would make people want to return to your site, rather than viewing it as a last resort?

I scrolled through the front part of the article seeing 3-4 lines at a time before I realized I could roll down the thing covering up the bottom (since it has a down caret instead of an X, I didn't see it as closable). I never did go back and read the part I missed.

Wired's content is of a piece with their web architecture, so it's not worth griping about. Other websites are available.
