12ft.io never worked well for me.

But archive.is generally always works.

12ft.io accepts money from websites that want to be blacklisted from their service.

Archive.is goes in captcha loops everytime I try to open it.

I've resorted to just using reader mode and bookmarklets that others have made.

I'm getting the same Captcha loops with Archive, although I had originally blamed my out-of-date browser. What alternative sites are there?
I actually figured out my problem after replying to your original comment. There's some issue with DNS over HTTPS, so you have to whitelist their sites in your settings, or turn off DNS over HTTPS (which I don't recommend).

To whitelist, on Firefox: Hamburger menu > settings > privacy and security > DNS over HTTPS > Manage exceptions > Add "archive.is", "archive.ph", and "archive.today"

If you don't want to do that, or it doesn't work, use Firefox's reader mode or the google cache bookmarklet I added below.

Google Cache Bookmarklet:

javascript:void(open("https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:" + document.location))
