Hacker News Reader

Great set of tips.

On a side note, I wish the site had a simple, easy to read fonts option similar to the switchable light/dark mode.

Maybe your browser's reader mode fits the bill? Firefox allows to choose serif/sans-serif fonts, font-size, line spacing and background color for example.

I hesitate to admit this, because it makes me look stupid but you are right.

I should remember to use the reader mode more often.

It is easy to forget a tool which one rarely needs, there is nothing stupid about that in my opinion :)

True :)

Well that's obvious, but really it's a shame to force reader mode on such a beautiful site. And fonts there were selected with some purpose it seems, it's just that font hinting on Windows makes them off, they probably look good on Macintosh.
