Is there a way to get the reader View icon permanently into the address bar for easy access? Seems to me there used to be a way this happened.

I recall opening the settings sidebar to turn on the reader view for an article displayed on the screen. That opened the reader view, and after closing that article the Reader icon remained in the address bar so you could easily access it again. It would be great if it could always be there, at least on pages with eligible text.

One of my major complaints about the Chrome browser is that the invitation to use “simplified view” only appears for a few seconds when you first open an eligible article. But once it’s gone you can’t get it back. There is a setting in Chrome to “always” show the icon in the address bar. But in effect “always” becomes an unpredictable “sometimes”.

I use Edge as my default Android (and Windows) browser partly because it consistently shows the “Reader” icon in the address bar on any page with convertible text. The Yandex browser does the same.

I wish Hermit did also so you don’t have to keep opening the sidebar to get at the reader icon.
