I'm with the OP. I just gave up on tomshardware pages entirely, even with ublock origin, reader mode, and other tricks. The enshitification just makes it to difficult to garner the info I want, and it's easier to find it elsewhere.
Where else do you like find that kind of info? I still have a Tom's Hardware shaped hole in my heart what needs fillin'
Anandtech. Oh, wait!
Here you go. A beautiful and open source news site article text scraper called "newswaffle" Now feel free as you browse the tomshardware articles with all that crap cut right out. I love it! Let me know if you are interested in how this works.
That's pretty impressive. I've been using Omnivore but newswaffle might work better. I like the open source existence. Did you find it or are you the developer?
I am a part of the Gemini protocol community. Newswaffle is a service hosted on the Gemini protocol to render web pages as gemtext (a simplified variant of markdown). Newswaffle the web article scraper is developed by Acidus. Here is newswaffles github .
I'm not a developer for it however I am one of the few people on this planet who actively use it and have had many email conversations with the dev over the years. Some of my suggestions made it into their services like lowtechmagazine be added to main newswaffle page and the simple English Wikipedia being added to their wikipedia gemtext mirror.
The github you linked is actually to the portal.mozz.us which is a seperate project that let's me share Gemini protocol stuff like newswaffle over the web with regular people who dont really know about or understand Gemini and the small net. portal.mozz.us is developed and hosted by Michael Lazar (Mozz)
What are you reading on? I'm using my phone and stock android. It looks fine, no more ads than a local paper might have.
Mix of Firefox derivatives on LineageOS, or Cromite. Firefox or ungoogled chrome on a desktop.
Try reading tomshardware with ublock origin on, and without using a reader mode or other trick I couldn't get past it's adblock detector and Captchas (on VPN). That was several years ago so I just stopped visiting. My mental blocklist persay. Looks like it's more accessible now, but I'll probably still avoid it.
Seconded.
