How about one for those sites that want you to scroll thru 50 pages when you should be able to see everything on one page?

You need Emersive Reader. It eliminates all the crap. But, it's only in Microsoft Edge I believe.

It’s not a fire wall, it’s a pay wall. Did you also use the original Napster and cheat musicians and songwriters out of their royalties?

I knew the minute I typed firewall, the spelling/ grammer/ punctuation / phraseology hall monitor would show up.
Nah didn't use any of those free music downloads, wasn't important.

It's not like they get nothing when freeloaders visit their site. They get ad revenue. Maybe they should focus on how to optimize that, rather than locking out potential readers. Or, like TV, they could have two levels of service: one with ads, one without.
