Enhance Firefox's Reader View Functionality

Activate Reader View is a Firefox add-on designed to improve the usability of the browser's Reader View feature. This add-on adds a dedicated button to the toolbar, allowing users to activate Reader View on pages that may not have the standard address bar icon. By stripping away distractions like advertisements and background images, it provides a cleaner reading experience, making text easier to read by adjusting size, contrast, and layout.

While it does not guarantee that all pages will be compatible with Reader View, it aims to expand its accessibility beyond the limitations imposed by the browser. Note that to exit Reader View, users must still use the address bar icon. This tool is particularly useful for those who frequently read articles online and prefer a simplified interface.
