Have you tried "Reader View"? Many browsers support some for of this. You can get rid of the fluff on webpages, change fonts and sizes, colors, etc. I believe Firefox supports it natively. But some webpages don't have the icon to move to reader view, I have noticed this on big busy main webpages like the front page to foxnews, etc. But once you get away from that main front webpage, the individual article webpages have reader view available. Goodreads may be similar, so if you don't see the reader view icon on the very first main page, go to some sub-page and see if it appears there. I'm thinking that these super busy main webpages are trying to throw so many ads at you that they go to extremes to confuse services like reader view so you can't bypass their ads. Maybe, maybe not. But be sure to check sub-pages on a website before giving up on finding reader view.
Here is one (older) link that explains a few things about this on various browsers:

If your browser doesn't support something like this natively, there are often times add-on extensions available to do it. I use the "Chromium" web browser (the parent, non-spying version of Chrome). You can enable it in Chromium, but there are several steps to do that. However, there is an extension available, aptly named "Reader View", that makes it just a button click.
