Read articles in Reader View
Reader View shows the text and pictures of an article in a plain, single-column layout, without menus, sidebars or ads.
Open Reader View
Go to an article, such as a news story or a blog post.
Press Ctrl + Alt + R, or open the menu and select Reader View.
You can also right-click an empty part of the page and select Reader View.
The article opens in a new tab with its title, the site name, the author when the page names one, and an estimated reading time. The original page stays open in its own tab.
If Flint cannot find an article on the page, for example on a home page or a search results page, it shows Reader view is not available for this page.
Adjust the page
The bar at the top of Reader View has:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| A− | Makes the text smaller |
| A+ | Makes the text larger |
| ☼ | Switches the sepia page on or off |
| Open original | Goes back to the original page in this tab |
Reader View follows Flint's light or dark Theme, which you set in Settings.
