GNOME Web Browser is Adding a Reader Mode (omgubuntu.co.uk)

An anonymous reader writes: An experimental reader mode will ship in the next version of GNOME Web, aka Epiphany. The feature is already available to try in the latest development builds of the GTK Webkit-based web browser, released this week as part of the GNOME 3.29.3 milestone. Reader mode (also known as "reader view") is a toggle option that strips a web page down to its bare text. All bespoke styling, background images, buttons, branding and page ephemera is removed. You get a distraction-free, text version of a web page. Because reader mode use its own custom .css to present web content it is (sometimes) possible to adjust a page's text size, background color, and/or layout for improved readability. There's no indication (yet) of customisation options being available in GNOME Web's version.

I just learned gnome has its own fucking virtual filesystem for things like removable drives. That is something the OS should be handling not your goddamn window manager.

Of course it would

Gnome developers are constantly thinking of new ways of needlessly using all the resources available in your system.
