Ability to manually trigger Mobile-friendly view

Project Member Reported by satorux@chromium.org, Apr 10 2017

Issue description

I'd like to be able to manually trigger mobile-friendly view as it often doesn't trigger when I want it (ex. I found https://krebsonsecurity.com/ hard to read on Clank as text is a bit too small for me)

I found issue 658416, that is to improve accuracy of detection. I'm guessing that manual actions by users could be used as training data somehow? In other words, I'd like the system to learn from my actions so that I don't have to trigger this manually on the same or similar sites.

Yes, we're still considering ways to manually trigger mobile-friendly view though it's a tricky UX balance given it'll likely be a power user feature.

Depending on how we'd design the accessibility feature, this feature request could be lumped there.

If we don't use the article detector and provide a menu item or whatever UI to enter "Simplified view" in the accessibility feature, then this is solved.

Our current article detector is biased toward false negative in order to reduce false positive, but the threshold for Mobile-friendly view and Simplified view might be different.

Yep, agreed. I think we should take that into account as we go along. I'll hold onto the bug meanwhile.

For power users, using "All articles" in the heuristic flag might be useful before the UI is changed. This makes reader mode available for mobile-friendly articles as well.

It's added here:

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/07/self-service-food-kiosk-vendor-avanti-hacked/ does trigger reader mode for me. Could you elaborate the issue with this site?
