I use mostly iReader, It removes the ads/clutters and displays the article in an easy to read view.
Seconding iReader. A really nice tool, exactly right for the job. Works on virtually all sites for me.

#12Why Pocket instead of Instapaper? I'm not sniping, I'm genuinely curious.
as a long-time paying user of Instapaper who recently switched to Pocket, here are my reasons:
- a desktop mac app is available
- I really like the 2 View options (article view and text view) as I read a lot of technical articles that include code snippets and these are rendered terribly on Instapaper
- the iOS apps are snappier and crash way less often
- search is baked in the apps

#14Your submission history suggests that you are involved in the development of at least 2 of the 7 extensions. (buffer and tldr.io) Are any of the other extensions your work? It's disingenuous to pretend to impartially recommend products that you work on.
I'm indeed a cofounder of tldr.io but that's not a mystery, Googling my alias will give you my Twitter profile with my bio as the first result.

Thx for the feedback I'll make a blog post out of it.

I fail to see where he pretended to impartially review anything.
I actually assumed it was an impartial list. I don't believe he's trying to be misleading, but a disclosure would be nice.

#17 Does anyone know of a better, more modern version of zapreader? I use that several times a week for getting through long articles from sites like the Atlantic and the Economist. I can't believe that nobody has picked up that idea and made something really polished.
