What is Reddit's opinion of TextBrowser?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

For those who don't know what he is talking about:

Also here is a really good mobile app (mind you this will NOT let WW know even that you visited (via tracking JS such as wordpress's, google's, etc.) nor will it let you view images (unless you open them in your normal browser) and also navigation can be 'funky' until you get "onto" the page you want(Because webservers will redirect you to 'mobile' versions of pages and their menu/navigation links can suck. ).

Also this WILL NOT work for (bad) sites that use AngularJS to create their TOC (Table of Contents/Index) (Looking at you GravityTales, and yes you should be shamed publicly for this (illegal in many places) behavior that hurts the blind/disabled + hurts your google page rankings, SEO, and several other things I'm probably forgetting offhand. (STOP USING AngularJS!!!) ).

no, no they can not. Because they have 3rd party Ads... Meaning they have no idea what is hosted on their site (this is true of almost all sites), but unlike most sites they have users that open many many pages per visit. Plus... shrugs I'm sure there is more reasons why not.. but basically you have to play whack'a'mole with bad ads and WW is so big that they are an easy target for 'bad ads' to hit them for just a few hours and still hit TONS of people... so even if RWX tries to fight against them... it is basically a losing battle until mobile browsers don't allow video ads, no redirects, etc... And until then you basically have too use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fro9.android.app.textbrowserfree&hl=en on mobile to avoid all the ads. Sadly until the tech becomes better that is the only real solution other than completely disabling JavaScript... but I find 1 browser for reading WN and 1 for 'everything else' works best for me.

For android there is TextBrowser.

For sites with a lot of links (e.g. Salon with its links to other articles), you need to scroll down past those to get to the article you have clicked on, but it is quite speedy.

With Text Browser, all the work is done for you. It isn't pretty, but if you want to read a story & not use up as much bandwidth as Netflix (slight hyperbole), then Text Browser really works.

I've started sharing the article to a text-only browser or to Pocket. Neither of these are 100% reliable solutions but it helps.
