These days news sites and blogs are bombarding with tonnes of ads and irrelevant content every day. Though we have the option to block the ads, even the content formatting and design have been misleading at a time.
Hence, we have an option to enable a reading view or simplified view that will only display the text within the blog or news site and eliminate the rest. This is part of accessibility settings that can be very helpful.
I do a lot of reading online. The misleading ads and images on the websites can be very distracting at times and divert my attention elsewhere. At times like these, I prefer using the edge reading mode that helps me enjoy reading effortlessly and without distractions.
