Why Reading mode is even considered "bloatware"?

• adrusi 11y ago
  Well it was added recently, during the same time as things like pocket and hello are being added. A lot of people will never use it, so it's fair for them to put it in the same bloatware category. I use it a lot on mobile, not so much on desktop. I didn't want to disable it. I'm not the biggest fan of hello in firefox, but I've gotten some light mileage out of it, so I guess I can't be too upset. Pocket though just really shouldn't be in the browser.

    Reader mode was added in 2012-2013. Pocket and Hello were introduced in 2015.

      Really ? Did they just add the url icon then ? I never noticed any of it before this year.

        Reader mode was present in the Mobile version for a long time, it's port to the desktop Firefox happened recently AFAIK.

  Reading mode is one of my favorite things about firefox. Specially on mobile. I think its a great feature.
