Reader view doesn't work on Safari

Not all websites support Reader View. Here is one that does to use as an example:

The Reader View icon should appear on the left side of the Search Bar as shown here:

If you are having a different issue with Reader View, please describe it here. Confirm your OS version is 10.11, as that may make a difference as well.

Ok, I am on Sonoma 14.5 as well.

• When you hover over the Reader Icon, does it say "Show Reader View" in the Search Bar?
• Do you have any Extensions installed on Safari?
• When going to the page linked in the previous post, can you do the Keyboard Shortcut: Shift-Command-R
• In Safari when you are on that page, can you go to View > Show Reader? Is it greyed out?
• Does it work when starting in Safe Mode? Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

I have seen other reports where it does not work, but none of those seem to come up with a solution. Some users had success with a OS reinstall, but that seems kind of drastic for this one simple operation to work. An Extension is the most likely thing that I could see that would cause a conflict.

I would also test without the Extensions active to see if you can pinpoint a conflict.

Safari > Settings > Extensions
