Configure Reader

The idea behind Safari Reader is to make the internet more readable. The view strips everything from a web page, apart from text and embedded imagery. If you find elements of a site’s design distracting, or the text is hard to read, activate Reader. When the view is running, click AA in the address bar to bring up options. The two buttons at the top adjust the text size, and the four coloured discs enable you to switch themes. There are also eight different fonts to choose from.

Be mindful that all choices work throughout Safari – they cannot be set on a per-site basis (unlike merely activating Reader).
