Description
This is the sample page:
https://www.reuters.com/legal/qualcomm-saw-nuvia-buy-chance-save-14-billion-year-arm-fees-ceo-tells-jury-2024-12-18/
It contains the hidden text in this form:
<span style="border: 0px; clip: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 0px); clip-path: inset(50%); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: absolute; width: 1px; white-space: nowrap;">, opens new tab</span>
This is passed as a cleaned span to Readability, though it should be obvious that it is hidden:
<span>, opens new tab</span>
