Reading View
An aside: Reading view is enabled by default in Dev 76.0.152.0 (as well, I assume in the recent Canary builds), so I've switched off the edge://flags version and am now using the in-built version of reading view.
I've been using Reading View extensively for a week now. It seems to be functioning fine, with a few quirks, but reading view in Edge (Classic) and Firefox have quirks, too. The bottom line is that Reading View looks good.
I would like to see the Edge team give users the options to:
(1) change the background color from parchment to white;
(2) change the font from serif to sans-serif; and
(3) increase the font size.
The attached screenshot panes show Reading View in Edge Chromium (current Dev release) with Reading View in Firefox, Edge Chromium left, Firefox right. The Firefox pane is close to how I would set up Reading View if I had options. It isn't whim; I'm in my 70's and things like contrast, font and font size make a difference.
