my reader mode icon has disappeared on two of my machines. i'm sure it's something in my settings that's propagated to both of them. i got tired of typing about:reader?url= in front of addresses and ended up using the "Toggle Reader Mode" extension. It has the nice side effect of working on some pages that reader mode didn't work on before.

can't wait for them to start injecting ads into reader mode or to outright reject toggling the mode if some kind of advertising meta tag is present.

That's certainly a weird behaviour. And it's more interesting that there is an extension just to enable reader mode, though kinda understand if it works on every page.

I hope it never come to that but as long as Firefox lives, we'll have forks like Librewolf. So it's not really a problem.

I just expect most good software to decline into a heap of hyper-monetized garbage these days. I'm grateful that decent alternatives usually pop up when it happens.
