Turn on reading mode
Strip the clutter off an article and read only the words.
Reading mode redraws a web page as plain text: a headline, the article, nothing else.
The advertisements are hidden, not removed, and one press brings the ordinary page back.
Key points
- Reading mode shows an article as plain text
- It changes only your view, and one press undoes it
What to remember
- Every browser has this, under a different name.
- Reading mode changes your view, not the page.
Try this
Open a long news article and look in the address bar for a small page or book.
