An easy way to turn any web page into text is to install the appropriate add-on. Various extensions can be found on the Google Webstore for this purpose.

The second method that has become available to Yandex Browser users relatively recently is using the built-in and customizable reading mode.

Method 1: Installing an extension

One of the most popular add-ons for putting web pages into reading mode is Mercury Reader. It has modest functionality, but it is quite enough for comfortable reading at different times of the day and on different monitors.

Reading mode is a very convenient feature that allows you to focus on reading and not be distracted by other elements of the site.

So, there is a reading mode, which is being tested so far, but it is already quite functional.

How to enable Reading Mode in Google Chrome

It still takes a little more effort to activate Reading View in Chrome than just clicking a button on the browser's toolbar. Due to the fact that this mode is still undergoing testing, its launch has not yet been added to a prominent place.

However, it is not difficult to get it running. It is necessary to click on the button " Menu"On the top right (its second name is" hamburger "because of the horizontal stripes that vaguely resemble this food product) and select" Shrink page". After that, the page will be filtered and only the main article will remain in it.

This is how the article "" usually looks like in normal mode.

And this is how it will look in reading mode in the Google Chrome browser.

To return to normal viewing mode, you just need to click on the " Back"Browser.

If the item "Shrink page" did not appear for you

Most likely your browser is still running. Check that there is no browser icon in the system tray.

Sometimes you need to see the entire sheet of a document in full size in order to highlight important points in the text with a marker or add a note. To freely read sheet by sheet and make edits, the reading mode in Word will help. You can enable reading mode as follows:

After you have read all the text and added notes, you need to somehow exit the reading mode. In this case, there are two ways. The first is to press the "ESC" button. This key is located above the letter "E".

The second method is to be careful - in the upper right corner of the entire document, there is a “Close” button with a cross. After clicking on it, the document will return from full-screen reading mode to standard layout mode.
