A tab opens, but I just get an animated dot on the tab and nothing is shown. Is the feature not available in Reader View? Also Reader View doesn't seem to strip out everything, lots of clutter seems to be left in the markup.

Yeah, can confirm that clicking on Reader View and then Right-Clicking within the tab and selecting View Page Source just makes it spins its wheels and not show anything.

Never tried that before.

You can, however, right-click and select Inspect which will show the page source on the left-side.

Hmmm.. another work-around is to press CTRL-A to select everything on the reader view page and then right-click and select View Selection Source which does seem to show everything.
