    Hey this may be a dumb question, but it looks like the BlackBerry browser is toast with the Priv, and I've gotten used to it, despite some limitations. I've used lots of other android browsers but haven't explored them deeply. What's the best option to replace the Reader function on the BlackBerry browser, which I use ALL THE TIME?

    The beauty of Android is that if you don't like something you can swap it out.

    Firefox app has reader mode. Probably many other alt browsers in the Playstore as well.

    Chrome app also has a reader mode hidden in chrome://flags but I haven't played around with it.

    Thx. Will check out Firefox again on my tablet. Seems a bit slow, but not sure why. I use my z30 to read online bc it's smoother and faster. If the Priv has any sort of lag or stutter, I'm out, and if Chrome is noticeably faster than any other browser with a good reader function, I'm out. Everything else works for me.

    found it.. Open Chrome (make sure you're running the latest version) and type chrome://flags in the address bar. Press Go. Head to Menu > Find on Page and search for "Enable Reader Mode Toolbar Icon". Click the Enable link under that setting.Dec 4, 2014
    will try it now.

    type chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode-toolbar-icon in the Chrome browser window, it open the hidden settings ,hit 'enable' then relaunch browser. You should see an icon for pages that can be read in 'reader' mode. Its not as good as BB reader mode which is probably why its hidden feature for users to play with.

    Not working in chrome that is with lollipop. At least i am not seeing the icon to enable it.

    Okay it works.. it pops up at the bottom and toast to make it mobile friendly... instead of having an icon like in older versions to do the same in menu bar.
