Reading mode for website articles? (lemmy.world)

Hey! I'm looking for an app or browser with a good reading mode, preferably with images too, of website articles. So many websites put random shit between paragraphs that break up the article, and not just ads so using an adblocker doesn't help much.
For example, I saw this article about my city: https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/37178834/new-train-station-opens-europe-city-break/
And it's just a shitty experience to read the article, I just want the text and images. I tried Firefox reading mode but it doesn't do a great job a lot of the time (including this article), like not removing the right stuff and even removing parts that are actually the article.
Very much prefer a FOSS app, searched around a bit but didn't really find anything.

Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you're not from the UK, you wouldn't know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Firefox Reader Mode works well for me on that Sun article about Gothenburg -- but I do block a lot of nonsense on the Internet.

Perhaps the ads and tracking code mess with Reader Mode on an unfiltered page?

I use txtify.it, but it doesn't preserve images.

For example: your sample article

Do you have a Google Pixel, if so install GrapheneOS, it comes with its own browser, Vanadium, that has an excellent Viewer that strips out the garbage.

How do you use it? I was trying to use it the other day but couldn't find the option

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In Vanadium got to Settings, Privacy and Security, Accessibility, then turn on the Viewer notification.
