Quick Tip: Firefox Reader View

Have you ever used Firefox Reader View (also known as Reader Mode), only to not get the full article to display?

Frustrating.

Thanks to my friend Sarah Bourne for sharing some helpful Firefox Reader View tips on getting the full content to display.

If you’re not familiar with Reader View, it strips out ads, sidebars, background images, and things to make it a easier to read content on web pages.

It’s a handy tool that displays in the Firefox address bar as an icon, for pages that are available in Reader View.

Selecting the icon provides you a clutter-view page.

And lets you choose to customize the layout through text font, content, width, light height, and theme.

One of the Reader View features I like: desktop Firefox can read the content out loud.
