Missing Link: How Linux would continue without Linus Torvalds (www.heise.de)

Nobody is immune to plane crashes, terrorist attacks, or fatal heart failure – not even Linus Torvalds, who still has the final say in the development of the kernel he named Linux. This worries many, as there is no public record of who or what would take over leadership in case of an emergency.

Firefox reader view worked well here.

I use Firefox, and while that is a good trick I have used and will surely use again, a lot of the time it's a matter of principle for me.

If I can't read the article in the normal way because they refuse to let me because I pick one of the choices they give me, then I will not partake in their content ever again.

Just use a normal browser. One for text. One without JavaScript

The issue is client side

lol, Firefox isn't a "normal" browser?

Either way, sites can get around that. But do tell, which browser do you use? w3m, elinks, lynx? One of the other ones here?

Tor Browser.
