Absolutely true. Firefox has had a reader mode for a while now,
available via the View menu as well as via the ctrl+alt+R hotkey.
Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 also has a reader view button. Chrome does
have one but implementing is it a bit wonky as you need to go into
Chrome's properties and add a command line argument. I'm in the process
of looking for third-party extensions in the Chrome store which might
make the feature easier to enable.
As far as Chrome vs Safari in speed it's been over a year since I've
used Safari on a Mac and so I'm not qualified to comment. I do agree
with you that any browser participating in speed wars only benefits
consumers. I will say that Chrome's speed, at least on Windows, is
lightning fast although there are some accessibility quirks with it
which could drive some users crazy. I plan to submit feedback on the
Chromium Accessibility group regarding some issues I've found and I can
only hope that Google is responsive enough to their users to investigate
and correct issues.
