I hear you but Outline has worked for me for several weeks with them, install it and see if it’ll work for you.
I have the browser add-on Reader View. It takes any web page, strips out all the garbage and just gives you the text.
In the case of Wash Times, I click on the link and then while the page is loading, and before it can get to the subscription puke, I start Reader View. It gives me the text perfectly.
