      I like that reader mode exists, in the reality we live in I’d rather have it than not, but man if it isn’t a symptom of how fundamentally fucked web browsers are. They added so much crap to web standards that they had to make a mode that disables most of it just to make the web usable.

      IMO after Mosaic came out very little of the stuff that went into web browsers was of any value. Flexbox and embedded video, for example, were good, most of the rest was bad.
