You may notice that the HTTPS at the start of the URL is crossed out. It’s also worth noting that, regardless of what site you go to, Chrome’s Reader Mode pages are not secure. If you click through and scroll down the article, a space is left open for a video player and some leftover text related to a video. Right at the top of the page, all the little bits of text at the top of the page get jumbled together. Example, check out this video game review on IGN. In some cases, removing formatting seems to smoosh words together or create other issues with text that is normally spaced out using formatting instead of the spacebar. Near the bottom, the reader removes the text from Lifehacker’s referral insert, as it should, but leaves in the image so now there’s an odd little photo breaking up the text for no reason. While the reader mode version is clearly easier to read, there a couple of issues here: At the top, you’ll see the reader mode removes the question, which was presented as a heavily formatted blockquote. Conversely, it also removes or shifts text that should simply be reformatted. I’ve been playing around with it this morning and found that it’s very easy to use, which is great, but also that it leaves in a fair number of extraneous text and images that other reader modes would clean up or take out. As you might expect, given that it’s a hidden feature on the browser for developers and web browsing nerds, it seems to be a pretty early version with some rough edges. On Thursday, Google stealthily added the feature to the experimental “flags” features list on Chrome Canary, the fast-lane beta-testing version of its browser, according to ZDNet. The desktop version’s finally catching up.

Google added it to Chrome on Android in 2014, then walked away. Other browsers, namely Safari and Firefox, have had reader modes built in for years. Reader mode, which strips away all the design elements of a web page except for text and unformatted images, is similar to what you get when you read stories you’ve saved on services like Pocket and Instapaper.
