Activate Reader View – Bookmark Version

This add-on adds a bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar. Clicking on it activates the Reader View even if the icon in the address bar is not present.

The "Activate Reader View – Bookmark Version" Chrome extension provides a convenient way to open Firefox Reader View directly from a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar. This extension serves as an alternative to the original "Activate Reader View" add-on, allowing users to access the simplified and distraction-free reading mode even when the Reader View icon is not visible in the address bar.

By adding a dedicated bookmark, users can force the Reader View to open on any page that supports it, streamlining the reading experience. This tool is ideal for users who prefer using bookmarks over browser icons or want an easy way to toggle reader mode without hunting for the icon in the UI.
