    Finding it ironic that I’m literally not able to finish this article because it keeps plastering the page with ads.

      Get Firefox, or any of the lemmy clients that offer reader mode. Avelon, voyager, Thunder, I’m sure there are plenty of others.

      Reader mode is a must for everything I read these days.

          Yeah, voyager is the one I use most often on my tablet. Open the link normally, make sure your links are set to open in-app, and as the page is loading, look across the top, where the “done” and “share” buttons are. You’ll see the “Aa” button switch to what looks like a rectangle with lines across it (mimicking a page with lines of text). If you catch it while that icon is showing, it opens right up. But if you miss that brief icon change, you can still click the “Aa” and it’ll bring up a drop down menu. Click “show reader”

            Strange, I’m not seeing that at all on my Android phone, neither in the PWA or the native app. Are you on iOS? Maybe it’s a Safari thing 🤔

              Hm. I am on iOS. Sorry, I just assumed the app would have same functionality, if maybe even a different layout. Check your settings, in the “link handling” section maybe

        Thanks! I am using Voyager and FF so I was surprised they came up. I’ll see about reader mode.
