Can't you use reader mode?

• pmontra 10y ago
  Text mode doesn't work on some sites because it can't identify the content. Furthermore it turns the page in a kind of text only ebook whilst text reflow works within the original page. Reader mode is a workaround, text reflow is the solution. It a reason to use Opera on Android. I wonder if it's so hard to implement that nobody else coded it.

    Firefox on Android used to have text reflow, then they removed it. Then the crappy extensions were made. I used to use text reflow on Conkeror (Firefox based) on desktop, but a year or two after they disabled it on Android they removed it from Firefox. I agree, I also use Opera on Android, for this feature.

      Thanks. I googled for that and found this bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710298 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710298 Unfortunately the about:config setting for text reflow in one of the last comnents is not in Firefox anymore. Ironically that page is an example of a page where reader mode doesn't work.

  Reader mode seems to break on web pages with an ampersand in the URL (on my phone, at least).
