Oh, I was wrong. Now I can see reader icon in private mode. Maybe some problems with add-ons?

@leocg: Why it should be enabled by default? Because when you want use it then you must go to experiments and change flag for Reader mode from "Default (D)" to "Enable" and relaunch browser.

@leocg: why is the stable opera on android so rare? after all the chromium vulnerabilities are there as well ... at least there could be security patches = newer chromium more often

@cvm Maybe they still don't want it to be enabled to everyone?

@adam1709 No idea, you will have to ask in the Mobile blog or in the Opera for Android forum.
