How do I access the basic version of TDF?

In the past, I somehow managed to access a basic form of TDF with no ads and has a white background. Is there a way to access that version of the site from here?

Are you talking about the "print view"? It has a white background but you can't browse TDF that way.

I really don't know what 'basic form of TDF' you refer to.

Ad blockers won't work here. Please understand that we need ads to pay our bills, we have high capacity servers and bandwidth. Ads are needed to keep TDF free for members.
We only have ads at top and bottom, there are no ads within threads. Ads are ours, we don't use external ad providers. Ads are not personalized, we don't collect your data, see our privacy policy.
Also, only listed manufacturers and vendors can advertise on TDF. They support us, support you!

I know I was able to move to the next page of a topic. As far as any other function, I'm not sure.

I understand. I would like to access it for other reasons.

Were you perhaps using the "Reader View" in Firefox?

I think I found what you are talking about and it looks very similar to what I'm describing, but I don't think that's it. I used Firefox before several times, but I never activated reader view. If it was in Firefox, I just clicked on a TDF link from Google and the page automatically shows up with a white background and no ads if I remember correctly.
