I asked ChatGPT why images were missing and this is what it said. I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with reader view on all browsers, or just Firefox. I'm using the latest version on Windows 10.

This was my question to Chatgpt:

I have a problem with a Hubpages article when I enter reader view—not all the images are shown. I'm migrating articles to my Kilcullen science blog, but now I'm worried that if I'm transcribing from reader view, I may be missing images. Hubpages lazy loads, however I'm scrolling all the way through articles before saving to make sure all images load, but in one case when there were three consecutive images, only the last image appeared in reader view.

This was its reply: That is a real risk. Reader View is designed to extract the main content of a page, not to preserve it exactly. If HubPages is using lazy loading, galleries, image containers, or JavaScript-based image insertion, Reader View may simply omit some images even if they have loaded in the normal page.

The fact that three consecutive images became only one image in Reader View is a warning sign that Firefox's Reader View parser decided the first two weren't part of the article content or failed to recognise them.

A few things you can do:

Don't rely solely on Reader View Compare the Reader View version against the normal page. Pay particular attention to image-heavy articles. Use "Save Page As" instead After scrolling to the bottom and allowing everything to load, save the page as "Web Page, Complete". This saves the HTML and associated images locally. You can then inspect the saved page if you're unsure whether an image was missed. Check the page source Search the HTML for <img. hubpages often stores image urls directly in the source even when lazy loading is used. if number of tags exceeds images reader view, you've found missing images. look for captions transcribing, compare captions. reveal use browser's list firefox, press f12 → network tab filter by "img" and reload page. you'll see every page requests. this most reliable way to determine whether all have loaded. < p></img.>

I'm trying to read an article on my tablet and i use Reader View, but the icon isn't showing up. I've tried changing whether the site is in desktop mode or mobile mode and it doesn't make a difference. But I know the article is compatible because the reader view icon shows up when i open the article on my laptop. If it didn't give me a massive headache to read on my laptop, I'd just do that, but the entire reason i got the tablet was for college reading assignments. Which I can't do. Because Reader View isn't working and the font on the article is really hard for me to read without it.

Is it possible to use reader view in dark mode if the system is set to light? This is possible in Safari and for me to use Firefox as default I need it to work (brain injuries).
