Depending on the site, I have a slight hack that I am sure most people know. Once I know the text has rendered, which is almost immediate, I stop loading the page (hit the stop hotkey or click on the actual X), and then I switch to Firefox reader mode.

Remember when the "stop" button on browsers stopped loading the page? Those were the days.

I remember a time that 'stop' in Firefox stopped all animation on a page too (blink tag, GIFs).
