Reader Mode
Strip pages to clean text with customizable font and theme
Reader mode strips a webpage down to its content — just the text and images, no ads, no sidebars, no clutter.
Toggle It
Ctrl+Shift+R or click the reader icon in the sidebar. Press again to exit.
What It Does
Bushido finds the main content on the page (looks for <article>, <main>, [role="main"], or the largest text block) and renders it in a clean overlay. Everything else gets hidden.
Customize
The reader has settings you can adjust:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Font size | 12px – 28px |
| Font | Serif or sans-serif |
| Theme | Dark, light, or sepia |
| Line width | 600px – 900px |
Changes apply instantly. Pick what's comfortable for your eyes.
How It Works Under the Hood
Reader mode runs as a named Rust command (toggle_reader) that injects CSS and JS into the active webview. No arbitrary eval — it's a specific, scoped command. The original page content is preserved and restored when you exit.
