Readable Browser

Readable Browser is a web server leveraging the readability library to display any web page in a light and distraction free form.

Nowadays most websites ask you to download megabytes of stuff to view a few kilobytes of useful content. That's the equivalent of printing a whole book just to read a single page. With Readable Browser you skip all that and fetch only the text that you want to read. It's much faster, and better for the environment.
When you are reading a page, what you want is focus your attention on the text, but most websites are optimized to maximize user engagement by tracking and manipulating them to increase their advertising revenues. With Readable Browser you only see the content, not the bullshit.
Finally, if a content producer respects you, you'll see a box at the end of their articles explaining how you can help them produce their content. Usually that'll be a link to their subscription or donation page.

Usage

You can try a online demo of Readable Browser but for your privacy and improved security it's much better to run the server yourself:

git clone https://github.com/vinc/readable-browser
cd readable-browser
yarn install
yarn start

You can then visit http://localhost:8080 with your favorite browser.
