Some browsers offer a reader view in which the page content is displayed without colours, navigation and layout elements. This makes it easier to read longer texts, especially with high-contrast or colour-intensive designs.
| Browser | Name of the function | Call / Symbol | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safari (macOS / iOS) | Reader | Icon with four lines in the address bar | Recognises structured text very reliably |
| Firefox | Reader mode / Reader View | Book symbol on the right in the address bar | offers options for font, colours and reading aloud |
| Microsoft Edge | Reading view / Immersive Reader | Book symbol on the right in the address bar | with read-aloud and translation function |
| Google Chrome | Reader Mode(experimental) | Can be activated via chrome://flags → Reader Mode | Available as standard on Android |
| Brave | Read mode | Menu or icon | similar behaviour as Chrome |
| Opera / Vivaldi | Reader Mode | Menu or icon | also based on Chromium |
The mode is optional, can vary depending on the version and works best on text pages such as blog articles.
