When READER MODE?

Please build an option to view websites in Reader Mode. The lack of this feature is the biggest difference between Brave and Chrome/Safari right now and reading most websites is an awful UX. Thanks!

Old message I know, but I managed to get the internal Chrome Reader Mode functioning inside Brave, so this might help tide us over until SpeedReader is ready for prime time.

The page here explains how to activate it, but basically you put

chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode

into the URL bar to get to the appropriate preference, activate it, and restart Brave. After that, a “Distill Page” item appears in the right-hand hamburger menu near the bottom.

Hope that helps!

chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode works, but there’s still no corresponding menu item after restart.

They should add button for reader mode into address bar, like in firefox and chrome.
