Chrome Reading Mode

A better reading experience

If you haven't discovered the Chrome Reading Mode yet, you are missing out! Reading mode helps you focus only on the text of a webpage by removing the images, videos and distractions. You can adjust the font, background color, text spacing and the width of the side panel.

1. Go to a site that has a lot of text 
2. Right-click on the page and select Open in Reading Mode or click the Reading Mode button in the upper right corner
3. In the side panel, use the menu to adjust settings as you prefer. Resize the panel by dragging the bar between the side panel and the webpage
