Is this an angelfire website in the 90's? Who the hell thought a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?
I just can't with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there's a embedded video as it is.
Firefox's reader view (ctrl alt r) is a godsend for cases like these.
Regular ublock origin does a great job for both automated and manual page cleanup.
For cases when the page is still borderline unusable, Firefox's reader view is a must.
Plus it skips most pay walls. Even if they load the text to pay when the page opens, if you refresh after enabling reader mode, you'll get the entire article.
Thanks for pointing this out. I usually read articles on mobile so I was able to find a feature I didn't know about. For anyone else on android: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-articles-reader-view-firefox-android
Trying to read the text with the insane collage of actively playing videos made me feel motion sickness
