Reader View is a feature available in web browsers such as Firefox and Safari which allows readers to view a webpage in an optimized format that removes clutter, navigation menus and other distracting elements. The goal of Reader View is to make reading easier by eliminating non-essential items from the page, allowing the reader to focus on the article's text and images. Unfortunately, when using Reader View some websites will remove the main body of the article, leaving only the first paragraph or headline of the article.
The main reason for this is to prevent visitors from replicating the article without permission from the webmaster, which is a violation of copyright law. Many sites that produce content for individuals to read are dependent on people clicking through to their website to access the articles, so they will use this security measure to protect their work from being copied and pasted elsewhere, without their consent.
It is important to remember that while the feature of 'Reader View' may be beneficial, it is important to always follow the copyright laws and respect the rights of the websites you are visiting. It is also important to note that if you do not have permission to reproduce the content you are viewing, please do not do it.
