Strip the clutter from an article
Turn a crowded page into plain words you can read.
Most browsers offer a reader view: it hides the ads, menus and blinking boxes and leaves the article itself.
Nothing about the page changes for anybody else. You are choosing how it is shown to you.
Key points
- Reader view hides everything on a page except the article
- It changes your view only — the page itself is untouched
What to remember
- The button lives at the end of the address bar.
- Reader view changes the view, not the page.
Try this
Open a news article on your own device and look along the address bar for a small page-shaped icon.
