The site just redirects me to their GDPA choice page. After clicking the option to not sell my soul I land on their plain text site (which itself isn’t bad, it loads amazingly fast), but only to the startupage instead of the article. That’s just a list of articles, that one not included, and no option to search. Well fuck it
Someone needs to write an extension for this. The id number is on the URL so it's a trivial script. Activating Firefox's reader view makes text-only NPR articles not only fast but look great too.
