Chrome extension that makes the internet fast again. Defaults to canceling all requests other than the main_frame: no JavaScript, no images, no XHR, no ads (not even an empty HTTP request to let them count eyeballs). No more loading 3MB websites to read <500 words. Everything reads like Linux kernel documentation.
Recommended for use with user-specified custom stylesheets. Probably best to modify the rules to match your own browsing habits (e.g., reading mode disabled for Gmail, etc.).
Download readingmode.crx and drop it into Chrome.
Download source files as zip, go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, and Load unpacked extension.
