Read the news.
Without the noise.

Supporting journalism: I support quality journalism and understand that free access to news content is paid for by advertising and sponsorship. Journalism is a public service, and the people who produce it deserve fair payment for their work.

The problem: Heavy advertising and tracking on many regional news sites makes articles hard to read. Layouts break, content is obscured, and pages become slow or unstable.

Official options: Most of these titles sell a digital subscription that removes the adverts and funds the newsroom, and many still print a newspaper you can buy. Subscribing to the titles you read most, or picking up the paper, is the most direct way to pay for the journalism.

The solution: This proxy is a personal tool built to make articles readable that would otherwise be unusable. It is not intended to harm journalism or to deprive news organisations of revenue.

Ethical use: If you find this tool useful, consider:

• Subscribing to the titles you read regularly, or buying the printed paper
• Supporting quality journalism through subscriptions where they exist
• Donating to independent news organisations
• Engaging with content and sharing valuable articles
• Telling news sites what you think about their ad placement and reading experience
