One of the few unique features of Safari is the "Reader" button (similar to readability), which I find very useful in reading such content (it's also great when applied to Anandtech, Arstechnica or other sites where article page count goes to double digits).


I used readability on this link. It actually dropped the 'Epilogue' on this one which left me scratching my head for a couple seconds before I backed out. But readability is incredibly handy on almost every ugly/noisy content page, it's one of the few tools I use every day.

I didn't know Safari had a "Reader" button (I usually stick to FF/Chrome), out of curiosity do you know who implemented the idea first?


Safari's "Reader" button is implemented with code from Readability. (Note the presence of Arc90 license verbiage in Help > Acknowledgements.)
