I prefer the design of Firefox Reader Mode. That is-- do your thing, modern web. Once you finish I click a button to destroy your Rube Goldberg machine and retain only the tiny marble I wanted in the first place.

I only wish it could detect when asshole newspapers do that last minute mutation of the DOM to put bullshit divs in front of the article. It makes me play a button-click race to beat the rendering of the bullshit div to reader mode.

Btw-- why do asshole newspapers actually send the article content before adding the bullshit divs? If you're gonna be evil, just send the first paragraph over the wire and make it appear as if the rest of the article is just one email sign-up away.
