Cory Doctorow's dickover remedies

As described here: Use browsers not apps. Use Firefox or, if you are concerned about their recent turn, at least a Mozilla and not Chromium-based browser. Hit ctrl-alt-r for Reader mode (Cmd-alt-R on MacOS). ⊕ [Note: Per Doctorow: Firefox tries to guess whether a given page should have a Reader Mode option based on its layout. This sometimes blocks Reader Mode on pages that badly need it. You can force Firefox to always allow you to try Reader Mode by going to “about:config” in your location bar, then searching for “reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled” and toggling it to “true”. If you switch to Reader Mode and the page breaks, you can switch back by hitting ctrl-alt-r again. ] Sometimes, reloading the page while in reader mode works.
