Does it have enhanced data-slurp mode I wonder?

ungoogled-chromium 74.0.3729 is out for Arch, Debian Buster, and Ubuntu 19.04, if anyone's interested in non-slurp mode.

I'm confused, doesn't the mobile variant of Chrome have a "reader" (simplified) mode? Or is that not the same thing?

IIRC, it had a reader mode, which was then scrapped when Google noticed they couldn't show ads? (I might be reading more into it than there is).

So, I wonder what they will do? Only allow reader mode on pages where's there's no *Google* ads? :P

I'm sure they'll still take credit for showing the ads while the reader mode version loads, even though the user is probably never aware of the ads.
