One other option would be to just include this chrome extension (https://mercury.postlight.com/reader/) to get a great reader view. |

+1 Reader Mode is the one thing I miss from Safari on desktop. I can read so much faster. |

Add me to the +1's. |
Another +1. |
Looks like this isn't a priority but I'm going to +1 this as well. |
After testing Mercury Reader, I found that Brave has pretty good OOB support. I'm going to create a master issue to track any needed APIs, and progress towards supporting this as a Reader option in future builds: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mercury-reader/oknpjjbmpnndlpmnhmekjpocelpnlfdi |
Got #Mercury Reader Extension (but not #Evernote Extension) to work following this article: https://medium.com/@jonathansampson/testing-chrome-extensions-in-brave-8e25d1f7386d |

@patertmg How was the Mercury Reader experience? |
@jonathansampson Great so long! There are only two minor concerns: (1) don’t know why, but Mercury doesn’t show an icon - there’s only a grey space up in the corner, so I have to click “blindly” on it (2) would be even better if i could define a shortcut to start Mercury. Thanks! |
The thing is that it would be better to have an open sourced reader mode integrated in to the browser than having a closed source reader mode extension. Mercury reader is good but since Brave is a browser that cares about privacy, maby it should be better to use mozilla readability instead 👍 Then we can truly know that the sites you are visiting doesn't get leaked 😅 |
+1 (Using Brave as default and this is the only feature I miss.) |
Just ran through another test with Mercury; I noticed only the same issue(s) that @patertmg reported (missing browserAction icon). Here's the logic which shows the browserAction icon: browser-laptop/app/common/state/extensionState.js Lines 90 to 94 in d0c2c6c
Note that Mercury doesn't provide 16 or 38 pixel icons:
@bbondy, what are your thoughts here? Would https://github.com/mozilla/readability be a better route to take, rather than something like Mercury? |

Add me to the list of folks who would love a readability feature. |

I also would love this option. It is one of my favorite built in features in Firefox and Vivaldi. Honestly I really love Brave. I am just waiting for more of these features and add on support to show up before it will be perfect. |
Unfortunately, we won't be able to address this with Closing in favor of brave/brave-browser#679 |
Maybe use this: https://github.com/mozilla/readability for reading view
Might be useful for an offline mode too and for indexing pages for better autocomplete results.
