In addition to the tips mentioned, I find removing further extraneous elements from websites to be quite helpful.<p>Readability Mode (or a reader-mode tool such as Pocket, Instapaper, Wallabag, etc.) provides a simplified, standardised formatting of websites. This is almost always more readable than the standard mode.<p>The element remover feature of uBlock Origin, itself an ad-block extension, can be used to remove additional elements from Web pages. I use this to remove social media "link litter" icons, various registrations and sign-ins (newsletters, subscriptions, etc.), chumboxes in the rare instances uBlock doesn't already take care of those, "related items" blocks (especially those in-line with text), etc. I can literally feel the psychological weight lifting from my head as those elements disappear.<p>Stylus, a CSS style manager, can be used to target items that uBlock Origin has trouble with, or even entire classes or groups of annoyances (matched via patterns).<p>An interesting approach I've used is to <i>desaturate colour</i> on overly-bright websites. (<i>The Register</i>'s pure-red logo bar is a case in point.) B&W really is far less distracting than colour, but even simply bleeding out much but not all of the colour helps tremendously.<p>A downside to all of this might be missing out on what everyone else is being bombarded with. I'll take that cost.
