Gundog

Give gundog a website address and it will return a stripped down version of the site.

Gundog was created for use with sites containing a lot of banners and scripts that made browsing tedious and for mobile browsing.

It will work well with pages containing a lot of text such as articles but not so well on other pages such as news front pages.

Here is an example of a webpage without gundog alt text

...and here is the same page with gundog alt text

You can host your own gundog server locally, or use https://gundog.herokuapp.com

The heroku version uses the following buildpack: https://github.com/jontewks/puppeteer-heroku-buildpack

Testing
