Is there a reader viewer button on Chrome? I don't remember. This feature is vastly ignored, but it's simply the perfect way to read content. No consent pop-up, no design, no ad, just a beautiful simple page with text and images.

I have a Firefox extension called Tranquility Reader that does that, it's like my favourite bit of software. Just the article on a white background, with a button to save it as a PDF. Perfect!

Pretty sure firefox has a built-in reader mode, I don't think I installed anything extra to use that and I use it for reading my textbooks every day.

Is there a version with a dark mode? I like the reader mode on my phone, because it makes the background darker. Gray background, white letters, simple and easy on the eyes.

Yup, it has a dark mode! And in the settings it lets you set the background and text colour to whatever you like, they're just hex codes.

It can still get around paywalls sometimes too.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
