Reading used to be simple. Open article, read article. Done. Now it's: close the cookie banner, dismiss the popup, ignore the sticky header, skip the "you have 2 free articles" overlay, find where the actual text starts — and by then you've lost the will to read. I got fed up and built Brutal Reader. One click and every webpage becomes just the article. Clean text, warm paper, nothing asking for your attention. Free, open source, works on Substack, Twitter articles, news sites, blogs. Read like it's 2005 again.

This will save a lot of time for me, I don't have to wait for every 20s ads before i can read what i need.
