I guess it's a list that blocks similar things that are "under" ads and only show when you block ads. Soon, sites will just start adding more stuff to be revealed once you block those. It's an endless pit and no one has a solution.

This needs a little bit of tweaking on a per-site basis, but works really well at blocking most things.

  */ Hide most everything that isn't the content. /*
  :not(.main-content) { 
    display: none !important; 
  } 
  .main-content > * { 
    display: block !important;
  } 

Combined with bookmarklets to disable CSS and strip images: http://pastebin.com/etLwqx5A

I can read content more or less marketing/fluff free. I then add several styles to make things a bit more legible (font size, a specific font I prefer, body width 85%, line height, and less-contrasting colors).

When I have some spare time on a future weekend I plan to find a way to combine all of them into a single Firefox add-on or a one-click-to-do-everything bookmarklet.

Isn't this basically Readability mode in Safari?

Doesn't work on WSJ and similar sites that require a Google UTF to read. I also have a bit more authority and control over things than the limited options of Readability.

(Readability was built into Safari 5 but is a standalone bookmarklet/add-on as well. Was actually a big inspiration for me fixing things how I want them.)

Disable JS. I mapped it to a hotkey when I "need" it (using surf/webkit). Makes the web great again.
