# Reader Mode

`Reader Mode` is a feature that optimizes the reading experience by presenting content in a clean, distraction-free, and easy-to-read format. When activated, it removes unnecessary elements from a webpage, such as advertisements, sidebars, pop-ups, and other visual clutter, leaving only the essential content like text, images, and relevant media.<br>

1. Select a portion of text from the article
2. On the highlighter menu, click on the `number 2 icon`&#x20;
