Firefox reader mode of hostara web page.

A browser’s read mode can create a better viewing experience by removing distracting elements that surround the text and images on a web page. For example, the picture shows our motherboard page in Firefox’s reader view. As shown, our navigation, ads, and other page elements were removed to only show essential content.

Below are the steps to enable this mode in each major browser.
