Most of my time online is spent reading articles or blog posts that tell me about new trends and news. But ads that don’t make sense are always a distraction. So, we decided to find a way to get rid of these ads and show all of the main content. Thanks to the Firefox reader view, we was able to figure out what to do.
Firefox’s Reader view is a powerful tool that gets rid of useless information and makes web pages easier to read. It gives you a better and more reliable way to read without any interruptions.
How to Customize Firefox Reader View for Better Readability
- Reader view in the Firefox browser has many features that can be changed and added to make reading better.

- You can exit the reader view, change the font, read out loud or listen, or save to your pocket.
- You can change the size of the text or dim or brighten the screen.
How does Firefox’s Reader View work?
Reader view is Firefox’s answer to websites with too much content or content that is hard to read. But how does it work? The most important thing is to use a large set of rules and knowledge about how semantic HTML elements should be used and organized to get rid of content on a page that isn’t immediately useful to the reader.
Please try it out if you haven’t already and are still using Firefox. If so, you’re in an episode of “How Does It Work?” (with more code than usual). The code for the reader view is in the form of a library on Mozilla’s Github. It is written in pure JavaScript. The code is broken up into modules that check if a page is readable (Readability-readerable.js) and convert a document to reader view (ReaderView.js) (Readability.js).
The document is read by the conversion function, which then sends out the article title, the HTML string of the processed article content, the length of the article in characters, the article description (or an automatic excerpt from the content), and the author metadata (byline). As can be seen in for, the whole process is a little bit heuristic.
