How do I read any web page as clean text?

Question

Accepted Answer

free route first, escalate on a thin answer read <url> as markdown with context.dev on monid and keep the code blocks, then count the fenced blocks against the page and tell me the number. do not judge it by the character count: link syntax and page chrome are included by default and can make the output larger than the visible text the cheap one: 15,312 characters with all three code samples intact, plus the page metadata the 66x one: 9,948 characters and every code fence stripped to prose what that means: on a documentation page, the expensive extractor lost exactly the part you came for count blocks, not characters: on a second page all 32 code blocks came back and twenty sampled ones were verbatim, while the character count was 74% larger than the visible text because link markup and chrome are on by default and made up two fifths of the output and the length field is bytes: the endpoint's own content length is counted in utf-8 bytes rather than characters, so it will not match a character count either the tie: on a news article the cheap one and a near-free one returned the same text, neither blocked
