This is, of course, an exaggeration of the both of them. Each has its own use case in which it performs better than the alternative. In truth, I use ubo as much as I use reader view :)

    Ublock is down there in the trenches battling face to face with the ads for our sake and you dare to insult them? Reader view would be disappointed in you.

    Yo I didn’t know reader view existed what. That’s amazing thank you.

    However, I’ve never encountered any problems with unmodified ublock, worked perfectly out of the box for me. On the rare case that I come across a website that wants me to disable my adblocker I simply do not care enough about whatever is on that website to do so.

    (Edit)

    Alright so I tried it on a few websites and got a “cannot complete request” page as well as “Additional information about this problem or error is currently unavailable.” Pressing try again did not help

    The sad thing is that well made websites can be a beautiful thing. But with the amount of ads they ruin that experience. And by enabling read mode all that website design that came up in the last year’s is gone again

      It is possible to have a well designed website with ads. Unfortunately, once you start using analytics, you can figure out how to “tweak” your design to increase engagement with ads, thereby increasing revenue.

      Before long, your well designed website is a crappy website because that brings in the bacon.

    Reader view is also a god send if you have ADHD or just struggle with attention span around electronics.

    Is there a way to make reader view automatic on sites where it makes sense? Quite often use it when I get the “uwu pwease disable adbwock” message on a sketchy site but would be nice to just always have it on those kind of sites

      I’ve briefly looked into this before and couldn’t find anything obvious. Would love to hear if someone else has managed to make it work!
