Love a news article that let's you read down a while before cutting you off to reveal its a pay to view site.
Fuck those sites.
Firefox reader mode just grabs the text and images and let's me read the whole article on most of these sites.
And if it doesn't load it all, just reload the page 😘
You all are awesome. Finding out new features every day with Firefox. Glad I returned.

Unlock anything. I’ve been using it exclusively since 10ft doesn’t always work

I'm holding out for 69ft
Nice
Whole article shows up when opened in reader mode
It is the Atlantic to be fair so you might not be missing much. This from a magazine that endorsed the Shakespeare conspiracy repeatedly.
If you can lie about one thing, you can lie about two....
What Shakespeare conspiracy?
That he didn't write the plays and presumably the poems. It's basically flat earthers for the literature. The Atlantic ran a piece advocating for it and then ran two other pieces about how great they were for running the original piece.
It's a good conspiracy they've got answers to all the questions, 'what about all the huge piles of evidence that clearly show he wrote them?' Is easily answered by 'just pretend it doesn't exist!'
Best is when they say Edmund Spencer wrote them or someone, it makes so little sense I almost hope it's true.
My favorite is when they say Bacon wrote them. Ok spend five minutes and read New Atlantis and then five minutes reading say the Scottish play. Then look me in the eye while you say that the same author wrote both.
The style, the words, the handling of dialogue, every single aspect of the two men are different.
Some will say it is unfair to compare the two but I would say that since the conspiracy started with Bacon it is fair game.
It just boils the blood of some English lit types that the guy who will forever dominate the language only had a high school education and a bff who owned a bookstore.
I just read the article on 12ft and am considering paying for it. It's that good.
