As an avid user of Mozilla products, I use Firefox and Thunderbird. But 
that's not all. I use quite a few more. You can see the full list here: 
https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/products/.

Let me tell you something else you might not know. It is the 
responsibility of website creators to provide a 'Reader View' on a 
webpage. Mozilla Firefox and other popular browsers only provide users 
with a GUI tool to make life easier. Should browser developers create 
something that isn't on the website? Is that what you are saying? Where 
would we stop? What else could browser creators provide that isn't in 
the website code?

Mozilla uses the most straightforward method, which is also web 
standard-compliant, to trigger the Reader View icon and its related 
shortcut function key.

In the link I provided earlier, point number 1 starts with:

'If a page is available in Reader View'.

Now, tell us what you think about this. You must have something to say; 
otherwise, you wouldn't be going around calling people names like a 
madman. You called them 'narcissists' and me a 'blind and faithful 
follower of theirs'. I am blind, that is true, but I am not a faithful 
follower of anyone. I'm an avid user of Mozilla products, but that 
doesn't make me a blind follower of Mozilla. I also use Edge and Chrome. 
  I use Windows 11 as well as Linux Ubuntu. Does that make me a blind 
follower of any of them? Please explain without using any expletives.
