I find what Apple is attempting to be absolutely ridiculous and rather brazen.
I won't be surprised that if the Safari reader mode becomes popular, the big content provider and news sites start blocking Safari.
- rimantas 16y agoI doubt there is a way to detect is someone uses this mode or not. Safari loads the full page, and then you have an option to trigger reader mode, which does not even replace the page: it's like lightbox for images: original page is dimmed and you get nicely formatted text in front of it.
- yumraj 16y agoNot sure why I was downmodded above, but: I had meant websites can start blocking Safari as a browser and not just the Safari reader-mode. Since Safari is effectively changing the way a content provider wants to display their websites and directly impact how they make money, especially important for news sites, both big and small, no one should be surprised if they revert to that. If I was CNN, NYTimes, etc., I would do that.
