Hi, could someone take a look at this issue?

+wychen, I saw you were involved in a discussion about the wording of this setting. If this is a non-regression, is it WAI or should there be a way to disable the prompt offering to show a simplified view?

Hey, do you guys have the bandwidth to fix this issue because it will sort of bother users if the accessibility setting doesn't take effect at all?

If you guys don't have the bandwidth, can I take a look and do a fix?  I believe the reason why it's failing to respect the accessibility settings is that we didn't use the variable "excludedMobileFriendly" correctly in the if statement
(https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/android/java/src/org/chromium/chrome/browser/dom_distiller/ReaderModeManager.java?q=ReaderModeManager.java&dr&l=522)

Would you guys mind if I do a quick fix and send a CL?

When the Simplified View accessibility setting is disabled, the expected behavior is that it should prompt Simplified View infobar on non-mobile-friendly articles. Your proposed CL (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1334657) changes the expected behavior.

When opening that page in Nexus 7, the viewport can horizontally scroll, meaning the layout is not mobile-friendly. When emulating other UA string, while keeping the same screen size, it works fine. Looks like it's probably a faulty UA string matching on the web site.

@wychen Hi, thanks for the reply :) 
The issue is that we found users complaining the info bar keeps showing up even though they have turned off the feature in the settings.
I don't know the reason behind the behavior that we prompt Simplified View infobar on non-mobile-friendly articles when the setting is disabled. Do we need to adjust it because it seems frustrating to some users?

Yes, non-mobile-friendly web pages are usually very difficult to read on mobile. On tablet, it is more or less OK.

One possibility is to skip non-mobile-friendly pages on tablets.

In parallel, we should suppress this feature if the click through rate is too low. This suppression could be a per-site attribute.

I see. But I still kind of feel like the setting should better be respected, otherwise it's not a good user experience either. 
Or do you think just skipping non-mobile-friendly pages for tablets is better? I could try another CL ~
(for suppressing the feature, I'm not sure about that)
