WhatA reading-mode proxy or browser extension that automatically removes cookie banners, survey popups, newsletter modals, interstitial ads, and blur overlays before the page renders.
SignalMultiple users describe the modern web reading experience as an obstacle course of dismissible popups, consent dialogs, and overlays that must be cleared before reaching the actual content — and existing ad blockers only partially address this.
