Yeah 12ft doenst seem to work on any sites anymore. Does anyone have any alternatives that work? I'm already familiar with the airplane mode trick but that's not always fit for purpose.

    The economist is a bad example lol.

    Their site loads the content before it locks it down. So you can just reload the side and press reading mode before it removes it again.

      If true, it's all but impossible to actually do this on a normal-speed connection. I had the impression they stopped this method a while ago.

        Worked fine on a 200 Mbit/s connection yesterday at least.

        I can try a gigabit or even 2 gigabit connection next week.

        The developer tab in browsers also has a way to throttle the connection if you want.

        I use Firefox btw.
