    jaw-drop I can go back to lynx now! /s

    Potentially, this is actually a fantastic improvement. It (in theory) means you could request markdown and convert it back to html and meanwhile strip out ads, Javascript, tracking/cruft, etc.

    I wonder how accurate of a markdown translation this would be. Would/could it handle single-page apps?

    The autistic community has been dying for this kind of accessibility accommodation for years.

    I cannot express how deeply this angers me. Though i am happy to exploit the fuck out of this for personal use.

    “Markdown offers a cleaner, more semantically clear representation of the content. This means less noise for language models and other text-analysis systems people that process information neurodivergently, resulting in more efficient processing and potentially lower compute costs real life physical exhaustion.“

      My brother, this is not just autistic people. Everyone wants this. Except the people who make the sites, because all that noise is how they make money.

      If you look at a private blog, they’re usually devoid of much noise.
