Got it. Okay, so here’s the text-only Google cached version of the page. I got it by going to Google, and pasting in the link to the article.

The second line of the result is a bit like URL information I’d just posted, but at the end there was a downward arrow I clicked on to go to the cached version. There’s a link there for the text-only form. That’s the link above.
I had heard about a lot of these advances, but regarding Malaria, I had only heard about the method of editing males to produce more male offspring. I hadn't heard about using CRISPR to lower female fertility. That's exciting not only for Malaria, but Zika, West Nile, and many other mosquito-borne illnesses!
Cool. I knew Google had this capability, but had no idea how to access/use it. Thanks for the text link.
This piece oughtn’t’ve been such shameless clickbait in the first place. I probably ought to replace the main link with the text only version. In fact...
