I've always been annoyed by the furigana on nhk news web easy but luckily I recently figured out how to remove it. Sorry if this method is already known, I didn't check around. This guide is for chrome, but it should be similar in other browsers. Continue reading below for a step-by-step guide.
- Right click on some furigana text to get a context menu. From this menu choose "Inspect".
- The developer tools subwindow will open, which consists of two subwindows. On the larger one you have the html, on the smaller one you have css style and other stuff. You should be already focused on the
<rt>element tag in the larger subwindow, which is the furigana element. If not, search for it and select. - On the smaller window you will see the style. Find something starting like "ruby rt {" and double click on it to add another field. You should add "color:white", just type it, hit enter and the furigana will disappear from the text.
Did it work? Hope it was clear enough, if not feel free to ask for help below. If you want to make a post with pictures for each step or a video about it please remember to link this post. Enjoy! (originally posted on reddit)
