| This is something I've been wanting for a while. You could probably build an extension to accomplish that. One hard challenge would be extracting content and then displaying it in a way that retains its semantics across the web, including navigation, sidebars, etc. Another would be form handling. |

| How about an extension that does it -after- the browser has implemented reader view? Then all that is already taken care of. |

| ▲ | evantbyrne 3 days ago | parent [-] | | As far as I can tell, none of the built-in reader modes seem to handle basic things like global navigation or pages that aren't laid out as articles. Even worse, many pages that appear to be articles to the eye won't render in reader modes. There's a lot of work to be done yet. |

| Thank you for your feedback. I do plan to turn this into a browser plugin. |

| ▲ | dredmorbius 2 days ago | parent [-] | | That would be absolutely awesome. If you're not already considering it, the Readability.js module might make this more straightforward: <https://github.com/mozilla/readability> (I think. I've looked into this but not applied it directly myself yet.) | | |
