Ask HN: Web browser for reading?

4 points by openIce 8 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I was browsing amazon today for an e-reader but it struck me that I already have an expensive phone that outperforms every e-reader on every front except for the display.

Then I started wondering, are there specific Android browser for reading only? This might sound like a weird question but I'm looking for a browser that lets me read longer articles without being distracted by popups or images, I just want black on white text, maybe even something that emulates the look of e-ink.

Several browsers have a "reader mode" that does just that. Try Firefox.
