Review Summary
Reader View is praised for enhancing web page readability by removing distractions and providing customization options. It supports multiple languages and aids in printing and PDF conversion. Users appreciate its ease of use and reliability. Common concerns include limited background color choices (notably the absence of sepia), an intrusive control bar, and a toggle button that does not reflect status changes visually. Some users also desire automatic activation on selected sites and better image resizing controls. Overall, it is regarded as an excellent tool enhancing reading on the web.
