Steps to reproduce:
- Open any story chapter on Royal Road; for instance, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/118891/new-life-as-a-max-level-archmage/chapter/2324263/1-vivisari
- Turn on reader mode
- Somewhere in the page, buried in the chapter, you'll see a message like "If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it." or "Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site." or similar. There are various rotating messages. In that example URL, it appears right after the text "No response".
Royal Road embeds these messages in stories to fool simplistic scrapers. They all have CSS classes (with randomly generated class names) that are styled with a style
element like this:
<style>
.cjNkODUzODExNzk4OTRiODhiMTU2ZDY0MDcwNWJiMWU5{
display: none;
speak: never;
}
</style>
It'd be helpful if Firefox's reader mode hid these. This doesn't require loading a separate CSS file; the styling is on the same HTML page.
