The Yandex browser has a built-in reading mode, which makes it convenient and comfortable to read articles on website pages. In reading mode, the text posted on the site is presented in an easy-to-read form, without unnecessary elements that overload the web page and make it difficult to perceive the content.
Reading mode in Yandex Browser first appeared in the Yandex browser version for Android, and then in the PC version of the browser, working on all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS). This is not a new mode for Yandex, since Yandex Elements (Yandex.Bar), an add-on for browsers, has a similar “text only” mode. Reading mode has now been implemented in Yandex Browser.
To comfortably read an article on a website, the user needs to switch to reading mode. The content of the web page will be transformed and will be displayed in the so-called book version. This means that the formatting of the open page will change, all unnecessary site elements (navigation bars, advertising, etc.) that are not related to the text of the article will be removed.
Reading mode does not work on the main pages of websites. Because there are various site structure elements that present the website to the visitor, in many cases, the main pages only have headlines or article announcements. Also, reading mode does not work on catalog pages, for the reasons mentioned above.
How to enable reading mode in Yandex Browser
How to enable reading mode in Yandex? Reading mode works on website pages containing a certain amount of text, mainly individual articles. The convenient reading function is built into Yandex Browser, so the user does not need to do anything additional.
To enable reading mode, log into the site page. A special Reading Mode icon will appear in the address bar.
After this, a web page will open in the browser, displaying only text content. A button labeled “Reading Mode” will appear opposite the address bar, which means that the reading mode in the browser is enabled.
You will see that all extraneous elements of the site have been removed, except for the text of the article and images located directly in the body of the article.
Reading mode settings in Yandex Browser
After moving the mouse cursor to the top panel of the browser, a special panel with settings for reading mode will open.
The following settings are available in Yandex Browser, with which you can change the reading mode display settings in the browser:
- Increase or decrease text size
- Change the page background color
- Font selection
Using the “+” and “–” buttons you can adjust the font size. The text size can be increased or decreased by four times.
For a better experience, change the page background. By default, the browser opens with a light gray background. Additionally, sepia and black (dark) background colors are available. Change the background color to better see text on your monitor screen at night.
In Yandex Browser reading mode, two font styles are available: Georgia and Arial. Choose the font that you perceive best.
The settings panel will close after you move the mouse cursor away from the top of the Yandex browser window.
How to turn off reading mode in Yandex Browser
Exiting reading mode in Yandex Browser is quite simple. After clicking the “Reading Mode” icon opposite the “smart line” (address bar), the reading mode in the browser will be disabled.

Conclusions of the article

Screens are becoming very relevant. If you like to surf the Web at night, you've probably noticed: sites opened in the browser are usually made in light colors, which creates some inconvenience when the monitor is in dim brightness mode. Let's figure out how to deal with this problem.
Changing the contrast of sites
and switching them to night mode
You can adjust the contrast of the sites you are viewing according to your preferences using a plugin for Google Chrome with a very eloquent name - “ Sharp Contrast”. We download and install it, after which we see the corresponding notification button next to the address bar.
By clicking on the plugin button, we open a window in which you can activate it.
We turn on the plugin (this can also be done using the key combination “Shift+F11”), and see how the color scheme in the browser has changed.
If desired, you can set additional contrast settings.
Changing the site color scheme
Users who may find the capabilities of the application described above insufficient are advised to pay attention to another plugin - “Color Filter”. It is installed from the Chrome store in the same way as other add-ons.
Click the plugin button, check the “Enable” checkbox, then click the “Setup” button. Next, select the line in which the stars seem the dimmest to you. After selection, move the slider in the lower field until the star in the marked line becomes clearly visible. At the same time, we observe how the color scheme of the current site has changed.
Thousands of articles and books are freely available on the Internet. Any user can read them through a browser without saving them to a computer. To make this process convenient and comfortable, there are special extensions that switch pages to reading mode.
Thanks to it, a web page resembles a book page - all unnecessary elements are eliminated, formatting is changed and the background is removed. The images and videos that accompany the text remain. Some settings are made available to the user to improve readability.
A simple way to turn any Internet page into a text page is to install the appropriate add-on. In Google Webstore you can find different extensions designed for this purpose.
The second method, which became available to Yandex Browser users relatively recently, is to use the built-in and customizable reading mode.
Method 1: Installing the extension
One of the most popular add-ons for putting Internet pages into reading mode is Mercury Reader. It has modest functionality, but it is quite enough for comfortable reading at different times of the day and on different monitors.
Installation
Usage
Settings
You can configure the display of web pages in reading mode. Click on the gear button, which will be located at the top right of the page:
There are 3 settings available:
Method 2: Using the built-in reading mode
In most cases, users only need the built-in reading mode, which was developed specifically for Yandex.Browser. It also has basic settings, which is usually enough for convenient work with text.
This feature does not need to be enabled in your web browser settings, as it works by default. You can find the reading mode button on the address bar:
This is what the page looks like in reading mode:
There are 3 settings on the top panel:
The panel automatically disappears when you scroll down the page, and reappears when you hover over the area where it is located.
You can return the original appearance of the site by reusing the button in the address bar, or by clicking on the cross in the right corner:
Reading mode is a very convenient feature that allows you to focus on reading and not be distracted by other elements of the site. You don't have to read books in the browser to use it - pages in this format don't slow down when scrolling, and copy-protected text can be easily selected and placed on the clipboard.
The tool for reading mode built into Yandex Browser has all the necessary settings, which eliminates the need to resort to alternative options that provide comfortable viewing of text content. However, if you are not satisfied with its functionality, then you can use various browser extensions that have a unique set of options.
