There is no surprise that Google is hot in the works creating a better and nicer user experience each day for all its popular software. Since Chrome si no exception today we found out that the reader mode may be coming to custom tabs in the near future for the Android app. Other user experience improvements that are currently under development at Google include the image and bandwidth optimization and the project that aims to help users gain better control over the website content that is displayed on their tablets and phones. Although not a new concept as these ideas surfaced as work in progress back in 2014 and debuted with the new “Reader Mode” with the 39th version of Chrome for Android, we salute the search engine giant’s efforts to keep the user experience at its best.

The new changes determined most websites to get updated with responsive capabilities when it comes to mobile devices, but as we all know, responsive does not mean always easy to read content. Most websites heavily rely on ads for revenue or server maintenance, the text is formatted quite bad depending on the device screen size facts that usually translate into bad user experience when it comes to reading content.

Enabling the “reader” feature will remove all the clutter and will make the text more presentable and easy to grasp by stripping it from images, title, and any text that is unrelated to the subject. Although the Reader Mode in the Android app can be a little bit troublesome to enable (visit chrome://flags then look for “reader” to change the way the feature prompts you) it is currently available for regular Chrome tabs. Things are about to change in the near future as the we found out that this feature is under development for custom tabs as well.

While we were taking our our daily dose of Chromium Gerrit we found this piece of information and decided to share the good news with you guys. Although this does not necessarliy mean reader mode will be present in custom tabs too in the next Chrome for Android app update, it surely means that Google is currently working developing such a feature. We encourage you to take a look and tell us what you think.
