does android have this "reader" mode?

[solosdk]

On my iPhone when reading news articles I always use the "reading" mode which filters out all unnecessary stuff and shows text larger.

I'm wondering if Android has this ability?

yep

It's not called reader mode though, it's called browsing the web.

It'd be useful if you could tell me how to activate it lol

When you zoom in on text, the browser adjusts text automatically.

You don't understand what I'm trying to say. Nvm.

What I'm trying to say is it's on by default... there is no such feature, the browser automatically adjusts text to a position where it is comfortable for you to read it and you don't have to strain your eyes.

 

Anyway, I honestly couldn't care less at this point. If you find iOS better for you, go for it, after all the iPhone 5s looks pretty speedy.

Certain browsers do yes. For example the default TouchWiz browser (Samsung devices) has a similar mode.

 

I don't believe Chrome does however.

Yep, this is not an iOS feature but a Safari feature

Also, this should be in the mobile section. With 237 post, you really should know this.
