I reduce window width to give a comfortable column with where the document allows, then use scrolling as a place-marker. I'm a line or two down from the top of what's displayed.

I'll also cut and paste into a plain text editor, adjust font, etc. to suit, then read that offline.

First method usually works, until you're on a site that auto-refreshes to inflate ad views. I don't trust many large content sites not to do that!

NoScript and AdBlock Plus may help with that. Even if the page is using a META refresh, NoScript has an option to kill those.
