게시글을 볼 때 밝은 배경에 작은 글씨, 주변에 신경 쓰이는 광고 배너들 때문에 글에 집중하는 게 어려웠습니다. 그러다 리더 모드를 알게 되었는데, 배경도 어둡게 설정 가능하고 글의 가독성을 높여주어 편리하게 쓰고 있습니다!

Estupendo. Se pueden leer artículos de periódicos (casi siempre enteros, no siempre) cuando aparece esa sábana que los tapa para obligarte a hacer una suscripción. Para sacar información y ejemplos en clase, genial.
