On an aside, I do like their Mercury Reader extension.

You find some website that's utterly polluted with content, click the Mercury Reader and you've got a very clean readable article (similar to Firefox's Reading mode).

I keep thinking, it'd be nice to have a Lynx Browser-like proxy that reformats existing webpages into readable, but minimum markup. Sort of like AMP-everywhere perhaps. The purist in me only wants to download the 2kB of actual information from most sites, and not the extra few Meg for tracking, ads, pointless styles, frameworks etc...
