I'm glad that some form of reader mode is now available in all major browsers to turn off weird visual decoration and focus on the content.

This is news to me. After seeing your comment I went through every menu on chrome and can't find it. Is this actually a thing. Is it just really well hidden or am I just a dummy?
I think it must still be in some level of development/testing for Chrome because it's is very hidden. I just tried these instructions on Chrome desktop version and was able to enable it: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3697312/google-chrome-...
I don't use chrome. In Firefox reader mode is an icon in the address bar you can just press. Why would chrome hide it? Unless I'm missing something and you're both talking about something completely different.
It's that same type of feature, but it seems like Chrome is timid about rolling it out fully (possibly because it hides ads).
