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:

SettingOptions
Font size12px – 28px
FontSerif or sans-serif
ThemeDark, light, or sepia
Line width600px – 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.
