Reading Mode in Google Chrome

Many websites, especially news and general interest websites, which are free, carry a large number of advertisements to help pay for the content. It becomes irritating to wade through the ads to read the main content.

Google Chrome has now introduced – Reading Mode – to take care of this. So now, whenever you are on a website with many ads and you wish to focus on the text content of the website, just enable Reading Mode and you can read the content as plain text.

Reading Mode can be enabled in 2 ways – on a page with lots of text, just right click on any text area – you will find an option in the list saying – Open in Reading Mode. Alternatively, on the top right hamburger menu, you can click on More Tools and then on Reading Mode. Under both options a panel will pop up on the right, with plain text.

You may resize the panel, change the text to your preferred font, change the font size and change the background color scheme to your liking. You can also choose the line spacing and letter spacing for easy reading comfort. And, if you want to browse through multiple pages on the same site, you even have an option to pin the Reading Mode, so that it stays throughout your stay on that site.

This is free and available on all latest updated versions of Chrome.

Try it, you will really enjoy reading stuff online for hours!
