How I read lengthy blog posts..

I love reading technical blogs. Reading lengthy blogs strains eyes. You can do the following to make your reading experience better.

Solution: Its good to have "Hacker Vision" - chrome extension installed on the browser. It renders the page into high contrast dark mode. It can also save a bit of power consumption of the display.

Many times I get irritated by many sections on the page distracting while reading. They may be "facebook/twitter followers", "recent blog posts" etc.

Solution: Once the page loads, if the blog post is lengthy or takes a lot of time to go through and understand, I simply tweak with the html of the page. Just remove the all the sections: "div" that distract me. You can see the html "div" to the corresponding section of the page using the Chrome web developer tools.

Steps:
. Press "F12" after the page is loaded- Chrome web dev tools launched
. In the elements tab, when you place the cursor on any line, the corresponding section in the page gets highlighted.
. Select the line (in the elements tab), press "delete".
. Now you can peacefully concentrate on the post you read.
. Tweak with the colors too in the developer tools
