Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm frustrated to read articles in websites that have a bad aesthetics. For instance, Richard Stallman articles. The lines occupy the entire screen which annoys me.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have a mode that when toggled would change the content of the web page to a default aesthetics. Firefox has this feature which is called reader view.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can't think of an alternative already available inside Nyxt.

Additional context This article and this HN thread seem helpful. Apparently, @aartaka is developing a port of Mozilla Readability.js to Common Lisp - I suppose this might be connected to this feature, but I could not find a previous feature request with the same topic as this one.

Ha, uncovering my wicked plans! Yes, (temporarily private) cl-readability is exactly for this purpose -- enabling reader mode. And for page sanitizing too, but that's a different story :)

I could swear we already had an issue for this...
