Is there a way to make reader view automatic on sites where it makes sense? Quite often use it when I get the “uwu pwease disable adbwock” message on a sketchy site but would be nice to just always have it on those kind of sites
You’re not the first one to ask this and I’m tired so I’ll just slightly edit my other comment. Only read bold parts if you’ve read that one.
where it makes sense
Firefox has a built-in function that checks if the extractable text from the website is “acceptable” and will decide whether to display the button. I don’t think the result of this function is available to extensions but you should ask Firefox devs, maybe add an enhancement request.
You can use another trick: bookmark about:reader?url=%s and add read as its keyword (only in Properties window, separate from “tags”). Then put read␣ in front of any URL you want to view with Reader Mode!
There is also an extension called☈ ,which can do this for you automatically. However, it is rather clunky: you must create a Regex pattern to match URLs that you want to be affected, and you’ll need to temporarily disable the extension to exit Reader Mode.
Unfortunately this doesn’t really work for me, the ideal use case is either have reader mode automatically enable where firefox thinks it should be able to (which is not always that accurate anyway)
Alternatively I might look into making an extension that just has a whitelist of all the sites/domains to use it on that everyone can contribute to

The worst part about NoScript is gradually learning just how extreme the script situation has become. Today’s web won’t be archived nearly as well as Web 1.0 was. It’s only gotten more hostile to people with disabilities.
That is helpful, I’m not sure what I’m looking for yet though. But another comment lead me into antialiasing and this line in the history seems plausible. install -y /tmp/zenity/nobara-amdgpu-config/fedora-amdgpu-pro/packages/amdamf-pro-runtime-5.4.3-4.fc37.x86_64.rpm /tmp/zenity/nobara-amdgpu-config/fedora-amdgpu-pro/packages/amd-gpu | 2023-04-25 20:11 | I, O | 11
Undo didn’t work though:
sudo dnf history undo 11
Error: The following problems occurred while running a transaction:
Cannot find rpm nevra “amd-gpu-firmware-20230404-149.fc37.noarch”.
So I made a rollback to my last know stable point: sudo dnf history rollback 2
It didn’t exactly workout either unfortunately:

I’ll do a reboot and see what actually took effect. Atleast I’m learning something, maybe I should do all my upgrades via dnf instead of the manager in the future, easier to know whats going on.
Turning AA off for fonts solved the missing characters, downside it doesn’t look very good. I still have glitchy artefacts in some menus and the package manager doesn’t display any text for buttons which is a bit problematic. Guessing disabling some more AA settings would remove more of the problems. But it doesn’t solve my main problem - why did AA break in the first place
The sad thing is that well made websites can be a beautiful thing. But with the amount of ads they ruin that experience. And by enabling read mode all that website design that came up in the last year’s is gone again
It is possible to have a well designed website with ads. Unfortunately, once you start using analytics, you can figure out how to “tweak” your design to increase engagement with ads, thereby increasing revenue.
Before long, your well designed website is a crappy website because that brings in the bacon.
The speech to text is basically perfect, the problem is YouTube’s choice to have to presented in the awful way they do. If they just looked like regular subtitles, I’d leave them on.
Don’t you? I always watch movies and play games with subtitles as well. Granted, English isn’t my native language. I would not do that in my native language.
You missed my joke, but that’s okay, I’ll explain it, I guess. OP said that they don’t use uBlock and that people who use it are “virgins” (no offense taken). I made a dig on them, as to how they’re watching videos in Firefox’s reading mode - by reading the subtitles?
You’re in good company. The same thing happened to me and my posts. Also happened to Picard M. We both had our posts removed and is banned for reasons we couldn’t figure out. I ended up making a second account to ask that instance why my posts weren’t able to be seen. Then the same admin (the one who banned us and removed the posts) then contacted us to try to elaborate but has no real answer. Started giving reasons for removal that made no sense within reality, nevermind their insanely vague rules.
The mods and admins are way too inconsistent over there. They do what they want, they don’t enforce. It’s exactly why I outright left lemmy.ml and don’t bother to engage with them anymore. It’s not consistent enough to know what to do and what not to do.
They wanna act like petulant children and throw shit at the walls then they can do so on their own.
