  • Reader Mode icon shows as active when enabled on unsupported pages

  • BugsDesktopDone

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a page that doesn't support Reader Mode (e.g. https://orionfeedback.org)
  2. Either click the Reader Mode icon in the URL bar or select View → Show Reader
  3. Move the cursor over then back out of the URL bar

Expected behavior:
The URL bar Reader Mode icon should remain in its inactive state, but instead it lights up.

      Vlad That makes sense. Maybe there could be a second version of the reader mode icon then for when it's unavailable, such as the current page icon with a strikethrough (like the non-HTTPS padlock) to visually demonstrate reader mode is "enabled" for the current domain but unavailable on this specific page, something like this mockup:

      There is still the bug however of the active state not being shown correctly before moving the cursor out of the URL area. Here's a screen recording showing two ways to reproduce the issue:
