Textise is a new way of looking at the Web. It’s an internet tool that removes everything from a web page except for its text. In practice, this means that images, forms, scripts, adverts, they all go, leaving plain text. Find out more here... (https://textise.wordpress.com/about-textise/)

Is reader mode not enough? It’s the same damn thing and not put through some sketchy free service that is obviously mining your data.

Salient point. Dont get me wrong, I use FF reader mode all day long and I sing its praises to all who will listen. But I am using this to access content over Tor when cloudflare would otherwise prevent me from doing so.

I would not recommend for anyone to feed all their browsing to a third party in a way that can easily be tied back to them, but I am using this tool to overcome a specific obstacle when I encounter it and not otherwise.

Maybe I should have described this scenario more completely at the start of my post 🤷
