Do y'all know about textise? I don't see mention of it come up in a quick search. https://www.textise.net/

It can be used with the duckduckgo bang !textise

It also works over Tor, where I can use it as a proxy to avoid Cloudflare checkpoints.

I don't think that it is open source but not completely sure.

Copy from the site intro:

Textise is a new way of looking at the Web. It’s an internet tool that removes everything from a web page except for its text. In practice, this means that images, forms, scripts, adverts, they all go, leaving plain text. Find out more here… (https://textise.wordpress.com/about-textise/)
