Readability

I found this via hackernews a month or so ago. It basically takes the content of whatever you're trying to read online and removes everything around the text, along with maybe making the text bigger and the font clearer.

Here's an example, this morning I went to read the article: The Art of Great Writing: 60 Writing Tips from 6 All-time Great Writers. When I get to the page I see the following(click on the image to make it bigger):

All of the content I want is tiny and located entirely in the left third of the page. The other two thirds is just clutter. After applying Readability (it's a bookmarklet that I can click), the page now looks like this:

It's way clearer, no extra stuff, it's kinda like Adblocker plus some extra FU for enhancing the reading experience. This is exactly what Dark Room achieves for writing(Dark Room is a windows port of Write Room for Macs). I find myself constantly using Readability more and more. Now that I think of it, I wish I could hook up Dark Room to this blog...hmmmm, that gives me an idea...
