It's Ghostery, it killed it somehow. Not sure if it's the site's fault or Ghostery's?

I just incognito when Ghostery messes up the page view.

I tried the viewtext.org Chrome extension, but it hasn't worked in a while :( I really loved that one.

Ghostery adds some weird play button you have to click to view the article, not sure what that is but it's new and annoying.

It's not.

The button is there to temporarily (or not) enable a tracker, when it's necessary for function - apparently, Ghostery decided the text is behind a tracker. It's strange though, I'm using Ghostery too (latest version), nothing enabled, and I didn't get the play button.

You're right, they did decide it's an ad - the div all the text in has the id "intelliTXT", who do that annoying thing were individual words become advertisements if you mouse over them.
