It just occurred that it's, almost comical. We know Reading view is "Coming soon". It just seems laughable or odd having Read aloud, but, not Reading view. You'd think they'd go (or come) together.Cheers,Drew

Noel Burgess "Perhaps it first turned up in 76.0.151.0" It is in Dev Version 75.0.139.4, released last Thursday.

Drew1903 "It's enabled via flag both Dev & Canary, yet, I don't notice an icon or listing for it in either browser." As far as I know, there isn't any way to access reading mode from the browser itself. It is one of the things that folks have been asking for. This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts -- we don't have "planned developments list", so we are all shooting in the blind, stumbling around without a road map.

Drew1903 Have you enabled the flag? Perhaps it first turned up in 76.0.151.0:

Noel Burgess Have done this, now, Noel. Never occurred to me would be necessary. But, after restarting not finding or seeing it anywhere in the browser & that's with 76.0.152. It's enabled via flag both Dev & Canary, yet, I don't notice an icon or listing for it in either browser.Cheers,Drew

tomscharbach @Noel Burgess Ok, I do, now, have Reading view in both Canary & Dev. I didn't see it, its icon, in either after Restarting them. Rebooted the whole machine & now, RV's icon is in its place. We knew Reading view was in the "Coming Soon" items. What I find unexpected, not intuitive, not accustomed to any such need, is having to do the flag thing. Anyway, thanks about the flag & at least Reading view is in my Edge Cs, now. All's well that ends well.Anything in the sense of "from the browser" is only from its icon which, is, now, in its place. The thing is, when it was introduced in Edge, as far as I recall, it was just 'there'. It's doing the flag thing to MAKE things be in the browser that in Edge, would just be there.Cheers,Drew
