Fixing Bad Color Themes With IOS Reader View
Reader View and Request Desktop Website fix many sins
Oct 31, 2020
Today I have come across multiple posts where colored backgrounds have created text that is very difficult to read. If you are using Safari on an IOS device, you can fix that instantly by clicking on the aA in the title bar and choosing Show Reader View.
Turning on Reader View transforms the page instantly, leaving plain text on a white background. It strips out ads as well. Not all websites can be switched this way, but most can. It is also helpful when you want to print a web page.
Request Desktop Website is another useful setting, particularly when using an iPad, but it also often will fix a badly displayed page.
