    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.)

            You can disable JS in DevTools, no need for extensions.

              On mobile, you can get NoScript but there are no dev tools. On desktop, keeping dev tools open is a little annoying too.

                F12 -> F5 -> F12 no need to keep anything

                  Not so in Firefox. F12, Settings, Disable JS, and then you need to keep dev tools open to stop the page from reloading (or maybe you can enter reader mode and then close dev tools).

                  Anywho. Kinda far from the point now that we’re discussing how to disable JS in dev tools which doesn’t fix my issue after I mentioned that I don’t like NoScript, an extension which also doesn’t fix my issue after we discussed how 12ftio yet again doesn’t fix my issue.

                  You probably shouldnt assume that your experience applies to others or even that they find the same experience manageable

      That’s like when AdBlock Plus told advertisers they could be bribed to let their ads through.

        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.
