Currently in all browsers we can see how when accessing any website automatically as a large number of advertisements, advertisements and other elements are displayed that, apart from being annoying, prevent a pleasant and specific reading on said website..
This changes thanks to the new function of "Reading view", or also called Reader Mode, included in the Firefox Quantum browser which has been developed thinking about avoiding distractions when reading such as buttons, advertisements or background images, and Additionally, the page text size, contrast and design are changed in order to obtain better readability.
This is why today TechnoWikis will explain how to use this type of view in Firefox Quantum on both mobile devices and computer equipment. In case of not having Firefox Quantum we can download it in the following link:
