Reader function in various browsers

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.

FirefoxReader mode / Reader ViewBook symbol on the right in the address baroffers options for font, colours and reading aloud

The mode is optional, can vary depending on the version and works best on text pages such as blog articles.
