  Also Firefox gives you reading mode which gives you well formatted text without distracting images or ads.

  Sometimes help you to circumvent site registration and read the article.

  Also supports dark mode.

    That this is needed, is sad. Not because of ads but feature creep in the web.

    Chromium browsers offer ‘simplified view for web pages’. In the accessibility settings . It does not work on all page though.

    But yeah, just use Firefox or one of it’s forks like Mull

      Chromium offering is limited, mixes text from article with some other text, sometimes made stuff completely unreadable.

        Agreed, but it can be useful sometimes. For instance, I’m writing this in the Voyager app, if I tap a link it will open it in Mulch. I also have UntrackMe, with that I can use any app for the link. The simplified view can also sometimes work when an app uses Android System Webview as it’s browser engine.

    Safari also has reader mode.

      Safari also supports content blockers. They are not as powerful as uBlock Origin on Firefox, but still better than nothing.

    By default? I had to install an addon called “Dark reader”.

        I’ve looked and don’t see that setting. Where did you find it? Are you on Android or Apple?

    The last Firefox on android that really worked for me with the about:reader?url=http://… Ability to force pages into it was 68, which I keep around for that reason.

    Can 117 do it on all pages?

      Most pages. You click the button on the right hand side of the address bar when it’s visible and it’ll always work. On some pages the button is hidden, so I’m guessing those don’t have an obvious way to format for reader mode.

      Still works for me. Sometimes I have to hit refresh after putting it in reader mode to load the entire article.

  Never “UBlock” always use “UBlock Origin”.“UBlock origin” is way better(filters) than UBlock. It’s available for Firefox android.
