I really wish browsers would default to Reader mode for documents like this.

It would make "web 1.0" content much more usable, and would encourage people to create simple HTML because the default styling wouldn't look like crap.

You can set Safari to automatically open all web pages in Reader mode. Then for websites you regularly visit and want a non reader mode render, you can whitelist them for that.

When you know and remember it exists. Most people never find the feature.

If it's not possible now, I wonder if there could be a meta tag whereby a site owner could assign a page to use any reader-mode available in the browser as a first preference?
