OT: anyone's got an idea why Firefox would not be able to display that page in reader mode (button in the URL bar not showing up)?
For some reason, my eyes cannot cope with white text on black backgrounds, so I usually just go to reader mode in cases like this article. But here, this option does not exist, for some reason?
- wryl 2y agoThanks for the feedback regarding this, I've been trying to find a middle-ground between my authoring style (writing raw HTML with low overhead, instead of using a static site generator) and "portable readability". I have a feeling it's just me not annotating the markup correctly, which I am in the process of fixing and porting around!
- marcosdumay 2y agoPersonally, I've found that adding 3 lines of javascript to make a style switcher leads to great results. (You know you can simply load a CSS file in javascript and apply it, in a single command?)
- pauleee 2y agoThey didn't use proper html syntax like <article>, <h2>, etc.; only <div>. With this it's not possible for the browser to know what is the content of the article.
- marcellus23 2y agoIt's possible, just more difficult. E.g., Safari reader mode works fine for this page.
- kwhitefoot 2y agoNo idea. And I won't be reading it either. Someone wanting the world's attention because of a crisis really should not add extra friction.
