This is not the case for Chrome, maybe because dark reader is better optimized for it or because safari loads pages faster on Mac than Chrome. I tried switching dark reader to ‘fast mode’, but in this case many pages may remain white or make images inverted. Jan 29, 2014 Re: Adobe Reader compatibility with Chrome on MAC OS pwillener Jan 28, 2014 7:48 PM ( in response to AmbikaM ) Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin. Chrome’s Reader Mode May be Coming to Custom Tabs in a Future Update. Google is constantly working to improve the user experience of websites on a mobile device.

Now Google has included a ‘hidden’ reader mode on Chrome for Android which will remove the annoying things of the page and serve us with the content.-> This is an experimental feature. Keep your fingers crossed and DO NOT mess with things which are unfamiliar. Now, to enable the ‘Reader’ mode, follow these simple steps. Steps to Force enable Chrome reader view mode: Reader view mode is default feature of Google Chrome. Some websites designed their webpages to Activate reader view by default. But some website are not designed to facilitate reader view, as this is new feature. To enable chrome reader view, you need to install an extension.
Websites these days offer lots of distractions, mostly in the form of annoying ads. But apart from ads, there are also social media buttons, fancy subscribe boxes, attractively placed buttons and much more, which really interferes with our reading pleasure. Google is coming up with a new way to cut out all these distracting elements with the help of a “reading mode” for Chrome.

If you have used Safari, then you know that it comes with a similar feature. In fact, Microsoft is also coming up with such an option for its new Spartan browser, and now Google doesn’t want to be left behind.
This reading mode helps you concentrate on the most important task of a website, which is to give you information in a clear readable manner. So let’s learn how to enable reader mode in Chrome.
Chrome For Mac Download
Enabling Reader mode in Chrome browser
Step 1: Right-click on Chrome’s icon from your taskbar or desktop and then click on Properties.
Step 2: In the “Target” field, you’ll be able to see the path of Chrome. Just add a space to that path and then type this:
–enable-dom-distiller
![Mode Mode](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126531119/508313627.jpg)
Step 3: Once you have typed this, click on OK. If you are using Google Now or Hangouts in Chrome, then exit Chrome by right clicking on the system tray icon.
That’s all you need to do. Now when you want to use this reader mode (or Distill mode), then launch Chrome, click on the Chrome menu icon at the top right and click on “distill page.”
So go ahead and try it out. In the future, Google might directly add this feature to Chrome without the need to do anything. Tip via François Beaufort.

How To Enable Reader Mode In Chrome
#73841
Dennis,
There is, technically, a reader mode built into Chrome but using it is a bit clunky.
In order to activate it you have to go into the properties dialog for the Chrome shortcut and add a command line argument at the end of the first edit field.
If Google Chrome is on your desktop, point to it and press alt-enter to open the properties dialog. At the end of the first edit field containing the path where Chrome is located add
--enable-dom-distiller
and press enter.
As an example, my edit field reads
'C:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe' --enable-dom-distiller
Don't change the path to match mine in case your copy of Chrome is located in a different folder. The above is just an example of how the edit field should read.
In order to get to the Reader view, press alt-F, from within Chrome, for the Chrome menu.
Arrow down and you'll find a Distill Page option, which opens the page in Chrome's reader view.
The above method is, in my opinion, unintuitive and inefficient.
What I've resorted to is the Mercury Reader Chrome extension from the Chrome store. Once you've installed this extension and, presumably, other ones which are similar, you can go into the extension's settings and set up a hotkey to invoke the reader extension. For Mercury, I've set up ctrl-R to render the page in the Mercury reader view.
Hope that helps.
