2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

P.S., I had to use Firefox to report this bug.

while indeed still there, is covered / surrounded by so much junk, that
it would be good to allow the user to have available the ability to also

Assuming this to be a Feature Request, updating the issue accordingly.

Note - For the supported sites Simplified View is offered if the option "Simplified view for web pages" is checked in Chrome Settings >> Accessibility.

Thanks!

Simplified View is the solution we offer for this.

So the question now becomes why didn't that page trigger an offer of Simplified View?
