There might be a browser plugin to automatically do this, like exist with old.reddit.com.

If you're running ublock, [edit: after accepting] just block the elements - kill the dark overlay, kill the big subscribe box that slides in at the bottom. There's nothing else.

CNN still doesn't have much worth reading, certainly not this. This isn't a real trend, this is a party a friend of the author threw.

This JavaScript (make a bookmarklet) should open the latest archive.ph snapshot of any page you're on:

Indent the line with two spaces so it’s rendered as code.

Thank you!
