    This doesn’t work nearly as well as it did in the past. I don’t know the story behind 12ft, but they seem to be complying with any site which has requested it to not work on their articles.

        haven’t used bloomberg in a minute but wasn’t it as easy as blocking java script? (and that’s something you should be doing anyway.)

        hell you got a second to scroll the article before it locked out scrolling so you could just reload the page and scroll down to where you where reading if you where on say a work computer and couldn’t install shit.

          Just tried both tricks on Bloomberg, neither works.

          (I am also not a huge fan of NoScript. I know why people use it but I don’t want to take all that brokenness. The thing that makes ad blockers mass-compatible is that they have auto-updating block lists. I do have an own list to kill some additional disrespectful behaviors from websites like chat bots though.)

        Some websites seem to hardly circumvent reader view, but to the point where it can be inconvenient. Reader Mode only works with the NY Times if I rapidly click on the “Toggle reader view” button whilst it’s loading, otherwise it’ll cut off. But it still does work brilliantly most of the time and gets the job done.

          Well there’s always the option to mash the Escape key/Stop button before the pop-up can show. It works on The Washington Post at least.
