How to Enable Reader Mode to Distill page in Google Chrome


Starting with Google Chrome 75, a new Reader Mode feature is available.

When you enable Reader Mode in Google Chrome, you can use Distill page on a web page for a simplified view of the web page for easier reading. The Reader Mode feature does this by removing (distilling) all unnecessary elements (ex: ads, menus, scripts, etc...) from the web page.

If you disable Reader Mode in Google Chrome, Distill page will not be available in the "Customize and control Google Chrome" (3 dots) menu.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Reader Mode to Distill page in Google Chrome for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.


EXAMPLE: Using Distill page in Google Chrome for viewing of simplified web page







Here's How:

1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Copy and paste the link below into the address bar of Chrome, and press Enter.
*Arrow chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode
3. Select Enabled or Disabled (default) for what you want in the Enable Reader Mode flag drop down menu. (see screenshot below)

4. Click/tap on the RELAUNCH NOW button at the bottom to apply.






That's it,
Shawn
