I haven't played with them too much yet, but I believe there's an 
extension for Chrome that gives you a reader mode. I also think Firefox 
now has a reader mode. I've taken a quick look at Edge in Windows 10 and 
Seamonkey on Ubuntu, and one of those two also had a reader mode, so I 
think we are starting to see this feature show up in our browsers.


As far as fastest browser, I'd suggest looking at the numbers. I'm sure 
there are some sites and types of services where Safari is king and 
others where Chrome or Edge wins out. These browsers also tend to leap 
frog each other in areas like performance. If Apple is kicking off 
another round of browser wars, that's probably a good thing for us 
customers.
