Developers: I would pay for a firefox or chrome extension that lets you just toggle the whole browsing session or tab into reader mode

I've regularly wished for a browser that was "reader mode" by default, and had a button for "unreadable mode"

I have reader mode on by default in Brave, but it doesn’t always work and (at least sometimes) doesn’t display images from the article. reader mode is extremely non-trivial to implement

I'm not sure about Firefox, but Safari let's you set reader mode as default for a domain — and since Safari 16, this setting is synced to all your devices.

If it can be seamless, as in I don't have to see each page half-rendering before switching to reading mode, I'd definitely throw money at it.

Same here. I'd love it even more if it was called "Lynx mode" as an homage to the sanest browser ever made.

It's pretty surprising that sites optimized for Lynx first aren't a thing by now among curmudgeonly hackers. Not as a "best viewed in Lynx" joke badge, but a genuine movement. Why shouldn't you be able to provision resources or tweak infrastructure settings by clicking/tabbing around in VS Code's terminal pane, for example?
