Google is testing a new feature in Chrome for Android that allows users to declutter web pages with a single tap, providing a distraction-free reading experience.
The feature, called 'Reader Mode Dev Entry Point,' is currently in the experimental phase and can be enabled through a Chrome settings flag. It introduces a 'Show simplified view' option in Chrome's menu, giving users more control over their browsing experience.
By manually activating Reader Mode, users can remove ads, sidebars, and pop-ups, creating a cleaner reading environment. The feature also offers adjustable text and layout options to enhance accessibility.
While initially positioned as a developer-focused tool, the growing user demand suggests it could become a standard feature, greatly improving the readability and user-friendliness of web content.
