Slightly tangential, but is anyone aware of an app/site that can take a URL like this one and convert the text to a format and layout that's easier on the eyes and easier to read in general? Like Kindle-fy a web page full of text?
Wow, this works great! On Android I recall getting the "simplified page" prompt but never found that to be all that great of a solution but using reader mode with Chrome is pretty neat. You can format it to basically be the same as reading a book from the Play store.
One nit is that if I tab away from the page and tab back the highlighted area is wiped from the reader pane -- assuming I had unhighlighted it in order to start reading.
In Chrome it seems like clicking the pop up is the only way to access simplified view. If you exit, follow a link, tab away, whatever... I can't figure out how to get it back! Any tips? Really confusing that I'm either missing something obvious or the explicit option is missing.
Safari, Firefox, and Edge all have a built-in Reader mode that doesn't exactly the thing you want for the device that you are on. Lots of extensions do this as well. There's used to be a handful of websites but it seems they no longer exist (they were also commonly used to bypass paywalls).
