<![CDATA[Built-in reader mode]]>I'd love to see a built-in reader mode that strips pages down to bare text, like in Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Vivaldi browsers.

As I'm getting older, it's getting harder to read small text. Also, in the mobile browser, sometimes pages have too many advertisements to read easily. Being able to just see the text at the right width and having the ability to scale up or down font sizes would be helpful. It would also be one less extension (and one less vulnerability) that I'd have in my browser. The ability to change colors (black text on white, white text on black, sepia tones) to reduce eye strain would also be a nice addition.

Its engine goanna is good. but i prefer opera as it has builtin vpn plus native adblocker. Opera's dark theme is more aesthetic and pleasing to look at.

I use Mercury Reader only because Opera doesn't already have the feature built-in, like other browsers have.

There are some extensions for this but none of them work nicely, at least the few I tested. I tried to like Instapaper and while it's nice, I can't be bothered to go to a separate service to read stuff from the web. So, +1 on the built-in reader mode for Opera.

I did manage to find a way to set a minimum font size, but I had to do that by tweaking a file in the profile. There really should be a way to do that easily.

There's a setting for it.

Not in Mac Opera.

At this time it's the only feature that bars me from making Opera my default browser. And if I'm not mistaken Mercury allows anyone to implement its parser, so no technical reason no to do it.
