Unbearable news
Safari 13 for MacOS allows you to selectively, or universally, see most news sites in reader view without having to select each time. Most other browsers have add-ons that do a similar thing, and Instapaper and Pocket, among others create text-only versions of most articles.<p>Most of those also work outside of adblockers, so, even when an adblocker is detected, the news/text reader displays the article text when the adblocked page won't (examples include Wired and the Los Angeles Times).<p>There is probably still some significant overhead in loading and parsing the original page, but, as some have pointed out, the lag is usually "acceptable" even on the original page.<p>There appears to be some added value in using these various strategies in multiple browsers.
