@matigo I use Reader. It’s all client-side though and will not save a reload.
@jextxadore If you want faster browsing of text in Aus, maybe try Opera Mini? They have a compressing proxy upstream that you can opt into. Would mean less crud sent down to you. (Also, some adblockers can prevent web fonts from loading.)
There’s also at least one text-only browser for iOS, but that’s probably a bridge too far!
