Someone should make a "bullshit blocker" that's like an adblocker but it extracts the article text, disables everything that isn't the article text and just shows you the text. Firefox's Reader Mode does this on some websites, but I suspect not on recent websites.
I can barely visit a page without having to dismiss a cookie banner.
And then "You're using an adblocker!" and hunt for the "Continue without disabling" link.
And then "Sorry, this story is paywalled" for some local news site I have never visited before and will probably never visit again.
Or another big popup asking me to sign in with Google, that I have to dismiss.
Or an autoplaying video with an impossibly tiny X close button that takes 10 taps on mobile to finally get rid of.
Or a font so large it's impossible to read, and I have to hunt down the "Text Zoom" feature of mobile Chrome that's way down the list in the hamburger menu.
Or the "Read more" button that you don't even notice because it's in between an image and "related content", so the article seems to just mysteriously end because the remaining 80% is hidden.
I could go on... but wow the mobile web sucks.
