In Safari you can ask it to load certain websites with reader view automatically. If you do so, Safari will change to reader view as soon as it can render the page.

This how I deal with the annoying stuff in Medium.

I deal with it by avoiding medium. Seriously, why support them in any way with page views/whatever if you disagree with their presentation method?

I don't follow regularly anything except the HN homepage. However there are many blogs with their own domain that are actually Medium and they get linked to HN every now and then. I wonder if that extension is smart enough to process them too. I use uBlock to hide the Open in App button and the sticky bar, in case the same site will get linked again.

I would be interested in moving on from Medium but haven't found a serviceable alternative. Do you have any recommendations?

This is a nice feature!

Edit: for those wondering, visit a website and long press the reader button on the left side of the address bar to enable.

That is nice. Firefox has an extension called "Open in Reader View" that adds an item to the context menu for links. But one still has to use it explicitly. (AFAIK, at least.)

Firefox on mobile does this too. Can't live without it on my phone.

Really? How do you do this? I continuously switch to reader mode for a few sites I read regularly, I would love to make this switch automatic.
