Off topic, but in Reader View the page seems to apply a Caesar Cipher with shift one on the content after a couple of seconds to make reading annoying.

Maybe it's an extension you've got installed? I wasn't able to reproduce it (on macOS Safari). What reader are you using?

Reader mode for Firefox mobile looks good on android.
