Firefox has this feature enabled by default and displays an icon in the address bar that you can click to reload the page in reader mode.

Do what you like, enjoy life how you want, but there is no need to describe swimming in water as “subversive”. Submersive, sure.

That is not a flag for me in version 79.0.3945.130 on Mac. What OS / version of chrome are you using?

Last summer I ran to the beach and went for a swim in the ~58 deg f ocean almost every day. I love it—you feel amazing after. From casual googling, it seems that the cold water triggers an adrenaline response, causing lower adrenaline levels afterward, i.e. less stress. I find the effect to be pretty dramatic. I also noticed a significant increase in my tolerance for cold in general.

Shows only first paragraph I am afraid. I am on latest stable version of Firefox on macOS.

It's trivial to bypass using the developer toolbar. Just delete the DOM elements for the paywall.

I used to race triathlons, and I've dived into my fair share of chilly lakes and rivers at 6 AM. I guess this is a different thing than a leisurely swim, but the main thing I remember is the pain in the temples and around the crown of the scalp from submerging the head in ice-cold water. Something like a brain-freeze from eating ice cream too fast.
