Is there something that can be done about this fucking cancer?

>>62040693
Yeah stop reading ((( news ))).

>>62040693
Content blocking.

View > Page style > No style

You may also wish to use a browser which has a "reading view."

>>62040693
uBlock Origin and uMatrix.

Reader Mode (firefox)

I knew nu/pol/ (facebook) would be the first reply.

>>62040712
I tried that like a year ago and it just made things a mess and couldn't block everything.

>>62040725
Is this possible in Firefox? I don't use any other browser because the others are fucking cancer also. Fuck chrome. Fuck you, google, burn in hell!

>>62040693
You forgot the European cookie notification shit that doesnt go away unless you press a button

>>62040741
Yes, it's possible in Firefox. You can always turn off page styling.

>>62040738
>>62040754
Hmm...I somehow never paid any attention to this. I guess it's been an option all along but I never needed it until recently. Looks pretty 1990s internet though.

Have an adblock blacklist instead of a whitelist. Immediately blacklist anything obnoxious while allowing non-obnoxious ads to stay.

There.

>>62040810
It isn't even ads. That's the problem. It's just like webpage design elements. Almost every news site has gone full retard.

>>62040786
Yeah, and that's the point. Page styling is what allows for all of those floating divs and video elements to dance around the page.

>>62040827
Which option lets me kill the editor through my computer?

>>62040693
archive.is

>>62040824
Block JS. Most news websites will look ugly but still display the article text without JS - they want to be indexed by search-engine crawlers and the like that don't run JS.

>>62040786
How do you disable CSS?

>>62040849
No way. Way too much shit online depends on java.

Why don't websites just go full overboard on the ads?
A single click can earn you half a cent this way.
You don't even need to provide content, just bait RSS feed aggregators with fake headlines and fake metadata so facebook will accept your link as a real article.

>>62041512
I don't think that.
But a pi owner would use semantic arguments like that to troll instead of actual arguments because they know you can't defend using a pi even as a dns proxy.

News sites truly are the worst when it comes to ads. They do everything to keep you from reading the news.

>>62041670
Gotta love reading a paragraph and then the entire page becomes a some guy holding a tennis shoe and you can't get back.

>>62040693
Don't read the "news"

>>62041715
I'm sorry, I don't vote right.

>>62041670
Nobody seems to be willing to pay for their news anymore. What would you have them do instead? Go out of business?

>>62042436
Yes.

Either that or turn their entire show into a joke like CNN (rachel madow).

>>62040693
Yes. Bring back HTML 1.0.
submit such pages to https://wiby.me/ and help build a web free of such visual cancer.

I don't want to serve a single .html file from Apache. What's an appropriately less bloaty and secure alternative?

Not without executing webdevelopers. Not necessarily all of them. When you get rid of enough of them they stop being able to reproduce efficiently and they will effectively be removed.
They bring similar bad designs wherever they go and they love to mimic each other. So it's not enough to deal with the symptoms here. They're a disease.

>>62040693
For such sites, use a text-mode browser like links or lynx.

>>62043608
It's weird. I'm not looking at tabs right now but I can't recall a single website effectively using my 16:9 wide-screen format. There's always a good deal of empty space.

>>62040693
NoScript.

Your political leaning is irrelevant unless you WANT to be fed half truths skewed to fit your viewpoint instead of unbiased journalism.

>>62043203
GitHub pages

>going to fake news

>>62040693

>(((news)))

>>62040693
Yes.

Drop those sites and use quality news. BBC isn't too bad. Most US sites are to be avoided. Also set up a firewall to kill all video at entry.

Also try reading news with Lynx. Often it will work, is also very comfy. And variants like eLinks can support some JS.

A solution I use here is to dig into the servers to obtain the headlines page. In 9/10 cases I see from the headlines there is no reason to go deeper. This saves me a lot of time and pain.

>>62043608
You're lucky to see three words on a single line with some layouts fucked up this way.

>>62040725
>You may also wish to use a browser which has a "reading view."

not all sites provide a reading view of their articles, and i don't think they'll be brought down just because i avoid them.

>Why don't websites just go full overboard on the ads?

if you turn off ublock for a few seconds, you'll see most of them do, to the point where the content you're looking for is confined to a fingernail-sized panel buried underneath about 10 MB of ads.

Pick a news source you actually trust and pay for their content. If you're a student they have deals and your don't have to go anywhere else for your news. They have dedicated mobile apps that work properly and aren't just ads masquerading as news. That's what I've done and I'm so much happier.

This is why you should own a kindle with a subscription to newspapers you like and magazines you are interested in. The internet reminds me of the "ow my balls scene" in Idiocracy where the guy has 20 advertisements playing simultaneously on the tv at once.
