This is an interesting topic, but the ads overlaying the content make this very hard to read :(

* Please don't suggest I install an Ad blocker.

OK, have your {dad|fifth grader|IT manager} install an ad blocker.

Ok, I suggest that you install the "Stoutner, privacy browser", which treats seeing text, as the default, with the ability to allow other content as optional, though certain sites that are still hand coded, show, as they always have....adds and all.

Firefox Reader View is really great. Worth giving a try if you use Firefox.

Sorry, but adblock is a genuine quality of life hack for everyone online. Since you don't want to install anything, how about working at the DNS level and/or hosts level? https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html will change your mind. https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist is another option for doing it in the hosts file.

Install an Ad blocker. I'd recommend uBlockOrigin on Firefox, or Firefox for mobile.

I mean just in general it makes the web less awful. Webpages are so much easier on the eyes without all the crap they try to stuff in there.

And it can prevent malware, especially for those less tech-inclined.

And it means you use less data/bandwidth, since the blocker prevents the request from ever being made in the first place.

If you want to support a site, just buy a subscription or donate to them or something.
