“Reading Mode” will appear in Chrome

Evangelist Google Chrome team Francois Beaufort reports that a special “Reading Mode” (Distiller Mode) will appear in the browser, making it easier to work with texts on the Internet. Just like in Safari, in this mode, Chrome will only display text and related images.

The update is already available on all Chrome distribution channels, including mobile versions. To try out what the read mode looks like on the desktop, for dev-builds in Chrome, you must use the startup key - enable -dom-distiller . In debug mode using the chrome: // dom-distiller key, console commands can try different themes for the mode - useTheme ('sepia') or useTheme ('dark') .
')
For the mobile version, you must use the chrome flag : // flags # enable-reader-mode-toolbar-icon . After restarting, a stylized button will appear on the toolbar to enable reading mode (the full version of Geektimes is open in the screenshot):



The new feature is based on the open project of the Chrome Dom Distiller engineering team, available on github .
