Sticky reader sounds like a feature users would want and publishers would hate. TL;DR - pages from certain sites are always displayed in reader mode. Of course, this would cause havoc with any advertising. That said, I'm all for it!
- MBCook 8y agoSafari has had that exact feature for a few years at least. If advertisers don’t want me to use it they shouldn’t be so obnoxious I NEED to.
- cstuder 8y agoiOS has this feature already built into Safari, but it's well hidden: Long-press the reader icon.
- dgellow 8y agoFirefox on iOS also has this feature. Just touch the little paper sheet in the URL bar.
- _Microft 8y agoIf the paper sheet icon is not there, prepend about:reader?url= to the url to activate it manually. It even works most of the time even while Firefox thinks it can't be used on this page.
- jamesgeck0 8y agoThat only displays the reader; it's not persistently applied to every page on the site.
- severine 8y agoI mostly use Open in Reader View(1), but there's also Automatic Reader View(2), which fits your description better.

- JoshTriplett 8y agoI'd love to have Sticky Reader Mode for a site, except that Reader Mode also eliminates site navigation sometimes. So, on some sites that display stories chapter-by-chapter, you lose the "next" button, and have to turn off reader mode, hit "next", and turn reader mode back on.
- dgellow 8y agoTry Safari then. The feature is nicely integrated and works well
