Description

By either blocking ads or disabling javascript. This would be very beneficial in many terms (as per title).

Blocking ads would be useful but probably tricky to maintain, I think having an option to disable js would be the best. Having js disabled could break something like posting comments, but I am assuming people when viewing a page within RR just do passive things like reading the page rather than interacting with it. (This is my experience, If i am mistaken let me know).

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating RedReader's in-app webpage implementation and its browsing settings, then determine how an option to disable JavaScript would be exposed. Done means users can disable JavaScript when browsing a webpage inside RedReader.
