A little more about Readwise View.

Readwise View strips away navigation, ads, and sidebars from any article or blog post. Choose your font size, line length, and background color, then read without distraction. Your preferences are saved per-site.

Instant reader mode

Click the icon or press the shortcut and the page transforms into a clean reading view in under a second.

Typography controls

Adjust font size (14–24px), line width, line height, and choose between light, sepia, or dark backgrounds.

Per-site memory

Good questions.

Does it work on paywalled articles?+

Readwise View only rearranges the content already loaded in your browser. It does not bypass paywalls.

Can I print in reading mode?+

Yes — use your browser's standard print function while reading mode is active for a clean printout.
