These two new Edge Insider builds also include a “flags” settings page, which is normally hidden from regular users, but can be easily accessed by more advanced users by typing “Edge://flags” in the address bar. These Edge Insider builds are more similar to the way that Google Chrome functions and the Edge Insider builds include support for Chrome extensions too. Eventually, a combination of these two new incarnations of Edge will replace the current version of Edge that is installed by default on Windows 10. Chrome’s new “Reading Mode,” which shows a reader mode in a sidebar, is now the only option unless you want to install a browser extension.Microsoft introduced Microsoft Edge Dev and Canary Channels, which are the Microsoft Edge browser builds based on Chromium. Update, 5/26/23: Google has quietly removed Chrome’s hidden “Reader Mode” flag. This new feature is separate from Chrome’s hidden Reader Mode, which is still available as a hidden flag and transforms an entire web page into a reading view. Update, 3/28/23: Google has announced a new type of “Reader Mode” that works in a sidebar for Chrome 114. Even Microsoft Edge-which is also based on Chromium- has a Reader Mode. However, it’s never been upgraded to a stable, standard feature. Google Chrome has included a hidden Reader Mode since all the way back to version 75. Strangely, Google Chrome does not have this feature-unless you know how to find it.

Most web browsers have a built-in “Reader Mode” that converts web pages into a more reader-friendly view. Open a web page you want to view in reader mode and click the Reader Mode icon at the right side of the address bar to activate it.

Search for 'Reader Mode' on the Experiments page, set 'Enable Reader Mode' to 'Enabled,' and click 'Relaunch' to activate it. In Chrome's address bar, type 'chrome://flags' and press Enter.
