      Reader mode also works beautifully on mobile for sites that’re otherwise friendly but have a clunky layout on width-constrained windows

        Reader mode is basically the lifehack that makes the web not suck. Combined with ad blockers, the web is pleasant. Every time I see a default plain vanilla browser on a web page I’m shocked how some people live.

          the overflow property in HTML controls what happens in a given element when its contents extend past the element’s boundaries, in other words when the contents overflow.

          Overflow has 4 possible values (AFAIK): visible, scroll, auto, and hidden, where:

          visible does not clip the content and lets it extend past the parent element,

          scroll clips the content and adds a scrollbar so that the user can see the rest of the content,

          auto adds a scrollbar only when necessary,

          and hidden clips the content that extends past the parent and doesn’t add a scrollbar.

          Some paywalled/loginwalled sites load all of the article content regardless of whether the wall is up or not, so when a paywall pops up you can just go into the Inspect tool (usually CTRL+SHIFT+I) and delete the element containing the paywall, and/or, as some_random_nick said, change the article container’s overflow property from hidden to scroll, letting you see all of the content

    If you want keyboard shortcuts in your terminal ctrl+x e opens the current command in your editor. When you save you can then run the command.

    I don’t think this works with all shells but it’s easy to set up in modern ones.
