I’ve recently re-discovered firefox, and have fallen in love with Reader View, but I’m noticing a few problems. Most pages with articles will work just fine, but some refuse to allow reader view, and when you force those pages into reader view it doesn’t display the appropriate content.

In today’s issue, the website is just happy to allow me to view it in a readable format, but only if I want to read privacy and cookie garbage. How can I select the portion of the page I want to actually read, and tell firefox to ignore whatever bullshit I’m “supposed” to see or whatever?

    I think the only extension that does anything with a sites content is UBO. I could try that I guess? Edit: Goddamnit, yes that did it. I’m so not turning off my adblocker for their fluffpieces. Thanks.

      It’s weird for me. I get the cookie bullshit in reader view, but if I refresh it then I see the article. This happens with uBO enabled or disabled, either way.
