It blocks ads.

It fixes the internet.

It is magnificent.

      Firefox (mobile) “Reader Mode” button.

      Edit: Sorry to say, it does not spin.

    Just disable javascript instead and it won’t also fuck up your CSS.

      Right, but sometimes it’s better to have this turned on, to have a clean and proper way to read articles

    Is there any equivalent or close to equivalent feature on other browsers?
    Still pretty dope if it’s firefox-exclusive, just curious to know if firefox-based browsers have it as well

      Should be on all FF based browsers. Chrome has a reader mode extension but it’s nowhere near as good.

      I want to know why Mozilla won’t add it to Firefox Focus.

      not Foss, Google app warning, don’t shoot me

      Google has an app called Reading Mode that you can trigger by holding both volume buttons. Works anywhere and has dictation, but the output isn’t as good as the Firefox one in my experience.

      On pages that reader mode supports, you should see the icon on the right side of the address bar. Here’s an example from one of my tabs:

      In addition to the other comment, if you hit a page that force disables it, sometimes you can see it if you stop the age mid-load, then go into Reader Mode, and refresh.
