Safari 5 – Reader feature

June 8, 2010

The newest version of safari came out today and I really like the new “Reader” feature which allows the user to better focus on the article that they are trying to read. I’m not sure how sophisticated it is yet but it’s supposed to detect multi-page articles and merge them into one page and also provides some additional controls for sharing. It removes the clutter of adds and other surrounding content to make for a better reading experience. Yesterday I found this article which suggests that the busyness of the internet makes it hard to focus in and understand what we are reading. Maybe this new safari feature will help with this. I’ve attached a video demonstrating the Reader feature in Safari 5.
