Feature request: reading view for internal browser (sh.itjust.works)

Hi, Lemmy is even better with Boost, thank you!

In the internal browser, is it possible to add an option for reader view?

This will make it easier to read some articles that render too poorly or busily. (I know it's the website's fault, not Boost's - but still, reader view improves things!)

Anyone else who supports this feature request, please upvote :)

I think boost just uses your default browser to open it in-app

It does if you choose the option to open in default browser. However, I want to use Boost's internal browser to keep the history separate from my own browser.

Right, nevermind. Didn't think boost shipped with an internal browser as it always opens up a custom tab by Firefox in the app for me. My bad.

No worries. The setting is in...

Settings > advanced > link handling > default browser

I don't think so. Just open it in Firefox and use reading view

I don't want random links in my Firefox history. If there was the option to open the link in an incognito tab, that would work (and the current Firefox preference of ALL links opening in either in incognito or normal is too fiddly to reach into for each link).
