In case you didn't know, Readability (http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/) does pretty much the same job as the Safari reader thing, but for all browsers.

There are readability add-ons for both FF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46442/) and Chrome/ium (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jggheggpdocamnea...)

There are also other, similar things, like iReader for Chrome/ium: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ppelffpjgkifjfgn...

Safari reader is actually the same codebase as Readability. http://twitter.com/chrisdary/status/15672452287

Cool, I didn't know that. I though the Safari version did de-pagination as well, which readability doesn't, I don't think? Wonder if they'll contribute back? Anyone know what license Readability is under - I couldn't see it on the page: http://lab.arc90.com/2009/03/02/readability/

And of course Instapaper (http://www.instapaper.com/) gives you the benefits of Readability while also saving the text for later reading. Available on multiple platforms, offline and on...

If this sounds like an advertisement, it's only because I've recited it to friends and family members so many times.

And Opera has an "accessibility layout" builtin
