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/)

Type or paste the URL of a web page into the box below and click "Textise". A text only version of the web page will be displayed.

Sounds like Firefox text mode with extra steps. Granted, it might be good for other browsers, but I personally am doing fine so far with a reader plugin on Palemoon.

Also, as other users have mentioned already, it's sus as heck.

Safari has reader mode (mobile and desktop) and it’s the best way to read most news and recipe sites. Except the ones doing stupid shit to obfuscate it anyways.
