How to Turn on Reading View Mode in Microsoft Edge Browser

When opening an article in the browser, enable Reading View by clicking on the black book icon to the right of the address bar or pressing Ctrl + Shift + R. If the site does not support this feature, the Reading View icon will be dimmed.

After clicking on the Reading View icon, it will turn green and the site will be completely reformatted for easier reading. Edge will remove navigation elements from the page, add estimated reading time and split the page like a book. When scrolling, the page will flip horizontally.

If you click anywhere on the page, the installation bar will appear with several options. You can adjust the font size and background; turn on reading in language; Access grammar tools (you must download); print pages; and full screen mode. The options above turn from left to right as shown below.
