Replace "edition." subdomain with "lite." and you get a very lightweight website, clocking less than 100kB transferred: https://lite.cnn.com/2026/01/29/science/zapotec-tomb-mexico-...

The lite version is actually quite nice and just has news item in one big list, no fuzz, no glam, just text and some cover images.

You can read any article on CNN with Firefox reader mode. Probably works with similar features in other browsers as well.

The "EasyList – Cookie Notices" filter list for ublock origin seems to also work well on this site.

I get a choice, at least in the EU. Admittedly you need to scroll down a bit on mobile, which is not clear at first.

Heh (in the EU at least) the div container has a `has-reject-all-button` class.

    <div id="onetrust-button-group-parent" class="ot-sdk-columns has-reject-all-button ot-sdk-two">
        <div id="onetrust-button-group">
            <button id="onetrust-accept-btn-handler">
              Accept All
            </button>
            <button id="onetrust-reject-all-handler">
              Essential Cookies Only
            </button>
            <button id="onetrust-pc-btn-handler" aria-label="Show Purposes, Opens the preference center dialog">
              Show Purposes
            </button>
        </div>
    </div>

Would be funny if the button was merely hidden outside of the EU xD

It is not present in the DOM at all in my location (US).

Most of browser has reader mode, toggle it. In safari you can even set it to automatic.

NoScript fixes the broken web.
