I use Reader View a lot. I notice it has moved from the hamburger menu to the view menu, which I’d say is an improvement. It would be wonderful if I could access Reader View with a keyboard shortcut!

I completely agree! it would be much more convenient

I rarely use “Reader View” so your comment alerted me to a change to Brave I’d not noticed; thanks. Where is Brave’s “view menu” to which you refer? In this comment @Aa-ron provides guidance to re-enable reader mode; no joy, at least not for me. I’m aware: not every web page can be viewed using “…

Aha! I see you’re using the Mac version. Brave’s Windows version (which I’m using) doesn’t offer even an optional “Menu” Bar (though it’s been requested), hence, nothing similar. But I agree: when Brave offered a Reader Mode, I found it helpful.

I enabled Speedreader, and as far as I can tell it does absolutely nothing. I still have to go to View>Toggle Reader Mode, and there is no perceptible difference in how fast the reader page loads.

Yikes! I’ve been using Macintosh for almost 35 years, and never realized how simple it is to create an application-specific keyboard shortcut! Done…

Also if you can enable dark mode in reader view will be good. I use it more in firefox which maintains the focus on text and Pics alone instead of white spaces. Also, to print the reader view page in dark mode in PDF format is also a better option

@Aa-ron - I just enabled and tried Speedreader on bbc.com which is one of the sites on the Speedreader whitelist. Quick summary: technically, it works — no glitches — but I find the resulting page is actually more difficult to read than without Speedreader. Which may explain why some time elapsed be…

In my experience, Brave reader view has improved dramatically. I used to have all sorts of similar grief with it.
