Comfortable web page reading
To make reading pages on a tablet easier, use Reader mode, switch between site versions, or change text size.
Reader mode
When you view a page in Reader mode, you can only see the text and the images (videos) contained in the text. Other page elements (banners, interactive elements, or social media buttons) are hidden.
Switch to Reader mode
-
To the right of the SmartBox, tap
or select
→ Switch to Reader mode.
Restriction
If the Switch to Reader mode line in the page menu is gray, and there is no icon to the right of the SmartBox, then Reader mode cannot be enabled for this page.
Exit Reader mode
- Click
to the right of the SmartBox.
Jump to the top of the page
To go back to the top of the page, tap in the lower-right corner.. The button appears on the screen when you've completed reading the post. You can also call it by scrolling down a bit and then up.
To hide the button:
-
Tap
-
Go to More settings and turn off "Back to top" arrow.
Text wrap (auto-fit)
If you increase the page zoom on a website, the text may go off the screen. Turn on the Auto-fit option so you won't have to scroll horizontally in order to read a sentence.
Enable auto-fit
-
Tap
-
In the Text zoom and auto-fit section, enable Auto-fit text to screen.
Text zoom
You can make the page font larger or smaller:

In the Text zoom and auto-fit section, enter a scale using the slider.
If the word wrap option is on, the slider is inactive. Turn it off to change the zoom.
Note
Some sites do not allow browsers to change the text scale. If you still want to change the zoom, go to Text zoom and auto-fit and turn on Ignore site requests to forbid font zoom.

Mobile site versions are displayed in the browser by default. To open the full version, tap → Desktop version.
To return to the mobile version, tap to the right of the SmartBox.
