You can do worse than browsing WFMU's Beware Of The Blog from start to finish. It's like going down the Wiki hole, only weird.

Just change the width of your browser window and use a minimalist browser that only cares about the important stuff like text and images while discarding the trash. Problem solved.

If you use Safari try 'Reader View'. It is so nice cutting out the clutter and making the formatting suitable for easier reading.

That's web design of the late '90s and early 2000s for ya. Resize your window :)
