I'm generally ok to have ads around the article, something has to pay the bills, but here the ads don't let you read a single line

I can't read a single line

The ads respawn faster than you can dismiss them

Reader mode ftw

Edit: it also supports dark mode

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not available everywhere unfortunately :c

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

TIL you can actually use about:reader?url=https://some-random-url to get it basically anywhere!

Just Vivaldi browser. Has everything included. From ad block to dark mode. No third party apps needed.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does it have builtin NoScript? Because that's still needed on some websites

Yeah, in settings under site settings you can disable JS. You have full control on what websites are allowed and what not. There are loads of privacy settings and visual customization options to make it truly your browser. It's also the best browser for desptops imo. I love the gesture function and the hot key search options you can make. Like for instance, I linked the imdb search bar to "I" key, so when I type I the address bar "I poor things" it will search 'poor things' on imdb. The only extensions I have on my pc are YouTube sponsor block and Proton pass, my password manager. The more third party extensions you have, the more your data is sold. Nothing is for free. We are the product.

Edit: only downside is that it's chromium based. Fuck Google.
