Here it does a great job of reducing a text of 174 words to 172 words. ๐Ÿ‘

(I do not want to complain too much. Usually it works and it is short enough for me to quickly read it.)

Best of all you do not need to click the link, load the website, enable JavaScript because there is nothing without it and then tap the cookie banner away disabling all of the cookies first.

i see a future where we no longer access websites directly because websites got so bloated that using a bot to give us the content instead is just way easier

We do that now by skipping to the comments though...

A bot that would send us the content as email, which we'd read using Emacs. I can see that happening.

RSS to emacs possible?

And also avoiding the possibility of your browser not being supported. What a world.

Actually you usually need to have Javascript off, 90% of news websites paywalls are just Javascript so turning it off let's you read the article.

There are quite a many websites just showing a white page if JavaScript is off...

Just shortening "Republican US Senator" to "Senator," nice.

You actually found it. I was too lazy, bit I still wanted to know. Thanks!

It was easy enough. Just two clicks and comparing the opening sentences.
