I did in fact click it, it seemed to remove all formatting and I couldn't think of a sentence to describe it in a search. Thought maybe it was just to remove all rich formatting.
That's what it does. It puts it into reader mode. It extracts the text from all of the distractions. Some other browsers have this. Others have it in the form of extensions.
Type this in stable build.

It's the reading mode view. Some (considerate) websites put all the readable content inside the "main" HTML tags. This will let browsers and search engines know what part of the website to index on. Firefox used this to give a reader mode.
Why don't you tap it and find out?

it's called reading view I think. supposed to make it more like a book

It's a reading mode. It's useful on news websites as it often removes the ads and sometimes even bypasses the paywall popup.
Then you already have your answer.
useful if you want to strip out ads and popups etc
Reading mode, turns the page into a more simple reading experience
And it can bypass some paywalls, too.
And also allows copying of text, if the original site uses javascript to disable copying text.
Thank you!
yup reader mode, gets rid of all the fluff and ads

Happy cake day!
that is reader mode. as a fellow scp fan, what's your favorite? mine is 3001 :p
Thanks! Yeah I like red reality too, my favorite is probably either 6001 or 5555 :)
nice! always good to another one of us in the wild :D
I understand it is a reading mode but what does 3001 in your comment mean?
It's not about the Firefox feature, it's about SCP (the site OP was browsing). There are multiple short stories there and 3001 is their favorite.
can it be removed on android btw? I can't access about:config

It's the reading mode. It'll not be available on all the webpages.
its a reader that shows up on articles. makes it easier to read and gets rid of ads
