I use Safari and I almost always click/tap the reader view icon as soon as the page loads. This:<p>1) Shows the text even if a modal has already tried to obscure it.<p>2) Ensures a legible font and contrast.<p>3) Undoes stupid scroll jacking. Yay, the text scrolls smoothly again.<p>4) Fixes the scroll bar so that it provides an accurate indication of how far through the page I've read, since the non-text crap I don't care about isn't part of the view now.<p>5) Allows me to copy text w/o worrying about anything else getting inserted to the clipboard.<p>6) Doesn't disclose to the site how far I've scrolled, which is none of their business.<p>And probably other good things I'm forgetting. Tapping the reader view icon as soon as the page loads has become habitual.<p>I obviously run an ad blocker as well.<p>This is in both iOS and macOS. Reader view FTW. It's the next best thing to disabling Javascript entirely.<p>Chrome and Firefox should include an as good reader view built in.
