works nicely for iOS/mobilesafari.
Good stuff timar - this definitely beats my trick of hitting the Esc key at just the right moment to stop JS from loading. I've gotten very good at that, but also life is very short and I shouldn't need to! So your bookmarklet will come to the rescue :)
Could this be integrated with Firefox's Reader mode somehow?
Do you think the 1,600 journalists at The New York Times, many of whom work in difficult environments (including the White House, lol), should work for free? Quite the Scrooge move.
Thanks! I've been looking for something like this for ages. I use Brave browser on my android and pc. This will be super handy!
I though people are paid for posting on medium?
How to use it with mobile Chrome on Android?
Thank you. Both for the code and for giving me an inspiration. :)
This is fantastic

Here is a gist of the commented code. It works by fetching the HTML content of the website, anonymously with no cookies. Using the fetch API. In a second step the HTML is preprocessed, removing javascript, inserting elements like images that might be done through javascript etc. The third step is to rerplace the current windows HTML with the clean-preprocessed HTML with the article.
