Možná jste to nevěděli, ale reader mode ve Firefoxu umí číst články. Jakože nahlas. Přečte text jako audio. Ale zní to prehistoricky a čeština je to vtipná. Kdyby zrovna do tohodle vrazili AI a vylepšili to, neuráželo by mně to.
Myslím, že jsou věci, které jsou AI a jsou pro lidi užitečné, ale je otázka, jestli to jsou zrovna ty, které si produkťáci vycucali z prstu, a jestli jich je tolik, kolik se nám snaží aktuální trh naznačit.

The workaround: After the tab has loaded, go to the "tab tray" and select that tab. Reader Mode icon now displays when it is available!
(Open the tab tray by selecting the number in a box at the top of the page.)
I use the Firefox browser on my Android phone and a while back, Reader Mode stopped being available for any site, including ones that were available on my desktop Firefox. I found some fix and it worked for a while, and then it didn't - just long enough that I couldn't remember what the fix was.
More searching has revealed that this is a bug that's been sitting neglected for 2 years. 😢
But I found a workaround!!

Hot take: blocking accessibility tools, like Reader Mode in Firefox-based browsers, ought to be illegal.
I could go further and say that ensuring digital interfaces are fully accessible ought to be compulsory. But punishing companies that make dickhead moves to block adversarial accessibility is the minimum viable regulation.
@TauAs Sounds interesting.
It seems however better than #Ladybug and in terms of #Rendering it's closer to Firefox's #ReaderMode than #Lynx.Browser...
The reader mode on FIrefox doesn't often load images 😐
Two important lessons for web-designers.
1. The user should be able to read the content in reader mode.
2. The user should not have to switch to reader mode just to read the content.
