To see the reader, click on any article and wait for it to fully load.
Safari rss google reader series#
In this case, the "RSS" option is shown since the articles are listed in series and we have an RSS feed available for our site. For instance, here at MacFixIt (or any other CNET site) if you are on the main page you will see multiple articles listed and the reader will not be available. The primary reason for the reader not being available is if you are viewing a page that has more than one article on it. The reader simplifies a single article, reducing clutter from ads and other links not pertaining directly to the article (click for larger view, or just activate the reader on this article if you are using Safari 5).ĭespite the simplicity of the reader, it will not work in some cases: In addition to reducing clutter, the reader is particularly useful for getting rid of those in-line advertisement links that will activate and show pop-up windows when you mouse over them. This feature is very similar to the "RSS" function where available feeds for a site can be accessed by clicking the "RSS" button that will appear in the same location. The reader is a separate window entity that, like a print dialogue box, travels with the window itself and just overlays the current window contents. That's it! Safari will load the reader viewer and fade out the actual Web page to the background, allowing you to scroll through the article contents (including relevant images) without all the clutter of links and ads. Click the "Reader" button in the address bar when it appears (or use the "View" menu or Shift-Command-R).Click on an article so it is the only loaded article.The "Reader" button will show when the reader is available.
The feature is welcome, but some people are having a confusing time figuring out exactly how it works and when it will work. One of Safari 5's new features that Apple is touting is the "Safari Reader," which allows you to focus on the content of an article and leave out flashing advertisements, links, and polls, and other sidebar information that accompany most Web content these days.
