Long press on website menu no longer toggles Reader mode

I’m pretty sure long-pressing the website menu button used to toggle Reader mode. That is no longer the case.

Long press icon in the left side of the URL bar to toggle Reader mode.

1.3.14

You're correct. Here's a recording of Orion 1.3.9 showcasing that feature.

Based on a quick test, it seems like 1.3.14 got rid of this feature.

The shortcut to enable reader mode on safari ios is to long-press the left side of the address bar where the favicon currently resides on Orion. When reader mode is available, a reader mode icon shows up briefly as the page loads.

This will make reader mode much faster to activate. Instead of having to tap the favicon then reader mode, this shortens it to one tap only.
