Does not need to be. uMatrix blocks the loading of the majority of the photos and keeps them white. Even better, render the article as text and you get rid of the garbage:

    elinks <url>

Personally I even tested printing it out as plaintext

    elinks -dump <url> | lpr

12 sheets of A4 with a reference list at the end listing all the links on the page and what they point to. Beautiful article, good read.

It's great design when a telex machine can read your article as well than a modern HD screen. It's odd design when the telex becomes better at doing so.
