Safari - Cleaning up the web one page at a time

Do you remember webpages in the era of geocities and myspace? All those flashing things and fake bugs running across the screen? While those where annoying, I feel they were slightly better than what we deal with today.

I do love Chrome but some of the features of Safari on the iPad are rad. This feature might help you and some of your kids read more efficiently.

Start by opening a webpage in Safari. Something that is of interest, like self repairing your phone. My daughter broke the Kindle when she was in 2nd grade and we used the iFixit site to repair it. I did make her pay for the parts and do all the work. This site is super empowering.
Use Safari, not Chrome.
Safari.
Click the Aa in the address bar.

Click Show Reader.

The article kinda jumps off the page and all the distractors just disappear.
It makes reading webpages a dream!
