Reader View (also called Reader Mode or Reading Mode) is a browser feature that simplifies web pages by removing ads, navigation menus, and visual clutter. It presents content in a clean, readable format that helps users focus and read more comfortably.
How Does Reader View Work?
When you activate Reader View, the extension intelligently identifies the main content of a webpage and strips away everything else. This includes:
- Advertisement banners and pop-ups
- Navigation menus and sidebars
- Social media widgets and share buttons
- Comments sections and related content
- Unnecessary images and visual distractions
What remains is the core article or content, presented in an optimized reading format with improved typography, spacing, and layout.
