How to use reading view and night mode in Microsoft Edge

It is time to bid adieu to Internet Explorer and to welcome something new. The modern Microsoft Edge is first introduced with Windows 10, and it already comes with a plethora of modern features. Don’t worry, new features are being added with every update to Windows 10. Two of them are the reading view and the dark mode, which are pretty important these days. Both the features are pre-activated by default, here I will be discussing how to enable and use the Microsoft Edge reading and night mode.

Enable the Microsoft Edge Reading mode

1. Load any article you want, and click on the ‘Reading view’ icon, on the address bar. It will be present as a book icon.
2. You can even hit the ‘Ctrl+Shift+R’ from your keyboard to activate the reading mode.
3. Now, the article will be loaded in a way, which will make it more comfortable to read.
4. Just use the left and right navigation keys to switch between pages.
5. To come back tap on the same icon again, or hit the ‘Ctrl+Shift+R’ from your keyboard.
6. You can even avail the Microsoft Edge reading list feature, by tapping on the ‘Star’ button, just beside the book icon. You can even access your reading list by clicking on the option just beside it.

Night mode is yet another cool feature to keep your eyes safe while browsing the internet at night. Microsoft Edge is among those few desktop browsers with a native night mode feature.
