I actually tried this a couple of years ago, with disappointing results. I felt like I had to disable reader mode about as often as I currently choose to enable it, and life was no simpler. It seems that are many pages where one could use reader mode, but it's not really helpful - this very discussion page is an example. Reader mode is an option here, but it cuts off all the comments, which probably isn't what you want.
- carlosjobim 3y agoYes, message boards / forums are the weak point of reader mode, and I haven't really found any good solution for cleaning them up, unless you want to go the route of injecting your own CSS styles. But maybe you could give reader mode a shot again? At least in Safari it usually won't activate unless it is actually useful for a page. And soon enough after some use, you've whitelisted most domains that you don't want to use reader mode on.
- marssaxman 3y agoI use reader view all the time! - I just activate it manually. I don't know of any such whitelist in Firefox, though, and there's no Safari on Linux.
- carlosjobim 3y agoCan you make it work for more than the first post, for example here on HN? Sometimes I can force reader view in Safari, even when it doesn't want to, by pressing CMD+Shift+R
