Remove Screen Clutter with Safari Reader

Another new feature iOS 5 brings to the Safari web browser is Safari Reader. This feature works on the iPhone and iPad and enables you to select a compatible website page; strip out graphic icons, ads, and other unwanted elements that cause onscreen clutter; and then read just the text (and view related photos) from that web page on your iOS device’s screen.

The Safari Reader works only with compatible websites, including those published by major daily newspapers and other news organizations. If the feature is available while you’re viewing a web page, a Reader icon (as shown in Figure 11.7) is displayed next to that web page’s URL in the Address field of Safari.

Figure 11.7 When you see a Reader icon appear in the Address bar of Safari, you can open that content in the Reader window and view it clutter free.
