Couldn't actually read the article as the font colour is too close to the background colour.. sorry, the title was interesting!

Once upon a time, there was this thing we call User Agent, and it would serve the interests of the user (you), and you could set your preferences instead of having someone else try please everyone on the planet.

Actually, those things still exist today, though with somewhat limited capacity. https://i.imgur.com/O7ta4Aq.png

Try firefox, it has a reader mode that always translates all html pages to the same structure. I bet it's also configurable.

Yes it's configurable, but no, unfortunately it does not always work.

This is mainly because of poorly designed sites - including sites with TONS of js ads that obfuscate the text.

You might consider EWW, the Emacs Web Wowser. I just tried loading the site (type `M-x eww` in Emacs, then paste the URL) and it worked like a charm. If the lines scroll off screen you can type `M-x to-tr` (which expands to `toggle-truncate-lines`) to make the lines wrap.

Using reader view on safari on my iPhone is the only way for many sites to be readable these days.

I personally didn't have that problem, if it's not a secret are you visually impaired? I'd also suggest getting "Dark Reader", it allows adjusting a specific site's contrast if need to be.

i usually select all the text in these cases. it's becoming annoyingly common
