Reader mode is a nice, user-friendly feature. Congrats.

@kened: doesn't work here. I see only small pars of web pages.

Edit: It seems to be working, but the problem is that the reading mode icon shouldn't be visible if the are nothing to read (it works in Edge that way).

*btw, Edge has quite powerful reader mode regarding the customizing.

@andrew84: This is the first time we've seen this feature. It will likely be improved.

There are still problems with video reproduction on eg. Imdb... H.264 playback is not working. I'm using Elementary OS 6

@predrag83yu Even with the codecs for Chromium 94?

@kened Reader mode? The Chromium one has been there for a while.

@leocg: Yes, I use latest version 80.0.4157.0 (snap install) and playback on Twitter, Imdb... is not working. Also I use beta version and there is also problem.
Html5test is stating that there is no H.264 support

@leocg: Did Opera already have this feature? It went unnoticed by me.

@predrag83yu: Same here. I've tested on Deepin, Ubuntu and Zorin.

@leocg: I remember we talked about the enable reader mode flag. And you made it clear that it was a chrome-only feature.

@predrag83yu: I tried using the .deb package with codecs from the herecura repository, but Opera crashes completely.

@kened If you enabled the Chromium flag, a option to change to reader mode was added in menu > page.

@kened: I'm pretty sure the crashes everyone is seeing is due to the fact that the chromium ffmpeg codecs are taken from chromium 92 (or older). Chromium 94, which recent opera-developer is using, seems to have added a dependency to a "new" symbol in libffmpeg.so, namely av_stream_get_first_dts.

I haven't found a package which contains libffmpeg.so for Chromium 94 (from the Dev channel). Until someone finds or builds that, we're stuck with the libffmpeg.so which opera-developer provides, and that's without all the interesting codecs.

@kened: At herecura, I have found opera codecs for chromium 94, just like you probably have. I just can't use them on m system, as they require glibc-2.29, whereas my system has 2.26.
