Building something like Safari Reader?

[nicky j]

Hey there,

I am interested in adding a feature to my browser that similar to the 'reader' feature in Apple's Safari browser. If you don't know, 'reader' is accessed by a little button in the URL bar. When clicked it creates an overlay with all of the text in the website's article. This allows web pages to be read without all the annoying ads, buttons, or other site features. I believe that 'reader' works by scanning the website's text, copying them, and then displaying them. How does reader know whether the text is part of the article or part of a button or other webpage element? Is it possible to make a feature like this in Qt?

please correct me if I'm wrong on my assessment of how Safari's reader work. How can a build something similar to this on my web browser?

Thanks!
