Some web pages – particularly articles on news and informational websites – have become nearly unreadable and full of distractions over the years with flashing and inline ads, videos, and unreadable fonts. Reader Mode can make many web pages easier to read – and it’s as easy as toggling it on or off. In this article I give instructions on how to enable reader mode (if necessary) in today’s most popular web browsers – and how to toggle it on or off for many web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Chrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use Reader Mode on Chrome it must first be enabled in a special settings area:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Type this into the address bar: chrome:\/\/flags\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Search for “Reader Mode” to show the Enable Reader Mode settings shown below. Click on the dropdown box and click on Enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. After you relaunch your browser, Reader Mode will be available to toggle on\/off on many websites via an icon near the right-end of the address bar – as highlighted above by the magenta circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reader view is built into the Firefox browser. If the page has a Reader View, you will see an icon near the right-end of the address bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on the icon, and the browser will reload the page in Reader View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox offers some options for its reader mode that allow you to change font, size, and background color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reader View on Edge can be toggled on\/off on available websites by clicking on the greyed-out book icon next to the favorites star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you click it, it will turn blue, and the Reader View of the page will load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safari<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Safari on macOS and iOS, “Show Reader View” can be accessed by clicking the left-side of the address bar, then “Show Reader View”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
