de·fud·dle /diˈfʌdl/ transitive verb to remove unnecessary elements from a web page, and make it easily readable. Inspired by my work on Obsidian Web Clipper I created Defuddle, an open source library to replace Mozilla's Readability in my projects. Defuddle extracts the main content from web pages. It's a bit more forgiving and tunable to my preferences. Notably, Defuddle uses a website's mobile styles to find unnecessary elements that can be removed from the page. npm install defuddle
