What is reader mode?

Reader mode lets you view pages so that only text and accompanying images or videos display. Other page elements (banners, interactive elements, social network buttons, etc.) are hidden.

Tip. You can free up some more space for text by removing the upper browser panel from the screen. To do this, switch to the full-screen mode by pressing F11. To exit the full-screen mode, press F11 again.

Customize reader mode

In the settings panel under the SmartBox, you can change the background color, font, and text size. The layout you have selected will be used by default for all documents newly opened in the reader mode.
