Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/415

While Shiori is pretty good at figuring out whether a website has some actual written content or not, some websites act as a "signpost" pointing to other websites and saving the written content isn't very useful.
For example, https://ssd.eff.org/ .
The main page's text being saved isn't very useful and I'd rather have an option to disable saving content for a website like this so that when I click on such a bookmark in Shiori, I'm instantly redirected to the actual website.

Also, it would be very useful to have an option to disable saving images to the readable content. The upload speed of my connection is around 2Mbit/s and if I want to save an article where all images are stock pictures, I don't want to wait for the images to load when I'm away from my LAN.

I think a good option would be adding two checkboxes ,that would be checked by default, to the bottom of the window that appears after clicking on "+" to create a new bookmark. When the 1st one is unchecked, the other one is of no use, so it could be made that when the 1st one is unchecked, the 2nd one gets unchecked automatically (and maybe gets "greyed out" at the same time so that it can't be checked without the 1st) :

✅ Save readable content (if possible)
✅ Save images along with readable content

I hope this isn't too troublesome to implement (especially the "saving nothing" part, as some websites like YouTube are already treated as links only).
If something isn't clear enough, let me know, I'll happily clarify.
Thank you in advance!
