This is, of course, an exaggeration of the both of them. Each has its own use case in which it performs better than the alternative. In truth, I use ubo as much as I use reader view :)

BTW Firefox has a built-in function that checks if the extractable text from the website is “acceptable” and will decide whether to display the button.

You can trigger it everywhere using

about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2F[...]

You can use another trick: bookmark about:reader?url=%s and add read as its keyword (only in Properties window, separate from “tags”). Then put read␣ in front of any URL you want to view with Reader Mode!
