Is this stuff really not turning away more customers than it’s bringing in?
I have my phone browser defaulted to reader mode, and it really blows my mind how bad this stuff has gotten whenever I toggle it off. Most sites are straight up unreadable.
I should do this. This is an amazing idea.
Depending on your browser habits, the reader mode breaks the sites more than works.
I use reader mode pretty often on news websites. That’s the main use case for me.
I’ve had a great experience using Orion’s reader mode to use Wikipedia on my phone. Safari? Not so much. Safari’s reader mode breaks Wikipedia pages, whereas the only issue Orion has with them is not including the titles to subsections. Which I can hardly complain about when all I want is to read an article on a darkened screen before falling asleep.
I wouldn’t… I will continue to go to sites and once the trash pops up I just never purchase from them. I’m done trying to skirt their garbage, just stop buying from them or using them entirely.
Mostly this is for sites I click on links to that do paywall banners honestly. That’s what I use it for. Most of the places I go to I could exclude or whitelist and be fine.
Something tells me those torches aren’t very good
Shockingly yes.
You think it wouldn’t work but it generates the metrics that execs wanna see
I can confirm this Christmas season that extended family members do in fact click on recommendations and so on, reaffirming that awful approach.
The amount of random crap we got… sigh. The thought counts, I guess.
The thought counts
Was there even thought though?
Nothing against the overseas sellers on their products (frequently excellent), but this is a common webpage design, and it bums me out when good products are otherwise available beneath the sludge. Looking at you, Wurkkos.
