Elliot Kirk the features are exactly what we need.

I have two feature requests for Reading Mode:

Option to see the definitions of words in the Reading View itself. This is one of the best features of Reading mode that Edge Classic had. It looks something like this:

Both of these features will make the Reading Mode complete in addition to the customization options and the Grammar Tools available...🙂
