Sadly, development of reader mode seems to be stagnant for both Firefox and Chrome. While it works for a substantial number of pages, I was hoping that more pages would work as years go by. Too bad that doesn't appear to have happened.

Unfortunately, Firefox Reader Mode bypasses your uBlock Origin, so you get violated by trackers.

IIRC, this `about:config` setting is how I disable Firefox Reader Mode: `reader.parse-on-load.enabled` = false

One interesting thing I noticed after updating to iOS 18 specifically, is the removal of reader mode as a "mode". It's now OFFERED to you in the new view menu based on some heuristic about the page that Apple has determined, but it's not a mode you can turn on regardless of if Apple thinks you're on a "readable" document or not.

Frustrating since their "remove distracting elements" feature was a great value-add, done in the same update.

Yeah, but it doesn't work for 90% of the sites I try it on. And some sites, especially news sites, deliberately break it.

Seems to me reader mode is a great idea but needs some dynamic behavior so sites can't break it.
