Page One: Banish Multi-Page Articles

I despise multi-page articles with the heat of a million suns. The Page One extension for Safari and Chrome fixes them, automatically displaying the single-page version of articles for several popular news sites. Install the extension now:

Why This Is Awesome

You know the drill: instead of letting you read articles all at once, too many websites chunk them up into multiple pages, interrupting the flow for the cynical purpose of inflating page views for advertisers. That's not only annoying and time consuming, but it also screws up "read it later" services like the excellent Instapaper. Instead of saving the entire article for later reading, you get only the first page—a big drag if you're using the Instapaper app offline.

Web publishers know this is annoying and so they frequently throw us a bone by offering a single-page view of articles. That's what they should do in the first place, and the Page One extension makes it so. I built the creation for myself for sites I use frequently and so, for the moment, it gives you single-page articles for only these sites:

The New York Times
The New Yorker
The Atlantic
Slate
Wired
Vanity Fair
The New York Observer
Details
Gourmet

Let me know if there are other sites you'd like to see supported, and I'll be happy to take a look. Meantime, happy uninterrupted reading!
