Firefox has had a one-click reader view for years, on desktop, Android, and even iOS:

- Reader view (desktop): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-reader-view-clu...

- Reader view (Android): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-articles-reader-vi...

- Reader view (iOS): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-web-pages-reader-v...

A Firefox support page recommends using the NoScript extension for quickly toggling JavaScript, which works on both desktop and Android:

I was looking for Reader view on Linux though…

Does it not work for you on Linux? When I use Firefox on Linux, the reader view icon shows up for me at the right end of the address bar on supported sites.

It even works on HN discussion pages (though HN is such a simple site that there's no benefit). You can test it on this discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30061672) or any Wikipedia page.
