Tried to read this last night, but didn't want to deal with the interactive features ABC sometimes does for the articles.

Don't get me wrong, the interactive features can be fun when I have time to sit down and enjoy them, but it'd be nice to have an option to just read the straight article.

On mobile Firefox, I hit the read mode button which gets rid of that interactive stuff..

Same option is also available for desktop pc version of firefox (it's the little square with lines inside it on the right of the address bar for anyone who is curious to try)

I believe turning off javascript in chrome browsers should do the same job - there's prob a plug in to do it easily but I dont know
