Chrome for Android is fixing its most annoying Reading mode problem

TL;DR

• Chrome for Android is testing a redesigned Reading mode that’s easier to access and less inconsistent.
• Reading mode now lives permanently in the three-dot menu and keeps the address bar visible while reading.
• The update requires Chrome 143 and a manual flag toggle for now, suggesting a limited test rollout.

Reading mode has been available in Chrome on Android for a while, but using it has never been particularly reliable. It only appeared on certain pages, relied on Chrome deciding whether an article qualified, and could vanish just as quickly as it showed up, which made it easy to forget the feature existed at all. That looks like it might be changing.
