    Looks interesting. Let’s paste in a NY Times article that I couldn’t read earlier.

    12ft has been disabled for this site

    …neat

        With the recent changes to chrome, you really should give Firefox a chance though.

          I think you’re replying to the wrong person? I’ve been using firefox since it was called netscape navigator, aside from a stint in the 00’s

          Edit: Oh do you mean the link? I’m on firefox the “chrome” in the link is just the url, it takes you to the install for both firefox and chrome. I assume the plugin was probably made for chrome first then ported to firefox.

            They definitely just missed the “on Firefox”, but you definitely made that clear hahaha

    This doesn’t work nearly as well as it did in the past. I don’t know the story behind 12ft, but they seem to be complying with any site which has requested it to not work on their articles.

        Some websites seem to hardly circumvent reader view, but to the point where it can be inconvenient. Reader Mode only works with the NY Times if I rapidly click on the “Toggle reader view” button whilst it’s loading, otherwise it’ll cut off. But it still does work brilliantly most of the time and gets the job done.

          Well there’s always the option to mash the Escape key/Stop button before the pop-up can show. It works on The Washington Post at least.
