Safari-like Reader
This is a great little touch.
It dumps all the ads, the headers, the elements, everything isn't pertinent to the article and presents it all in a highly readable, printable format. As you may know you can print to file, so you can put it on an ebook reader or whatever you like.
Another thing with similar results is Opera's SSR.

A content blocker is far from the same as nuking all ads automatically.
Firefox doesn't have AdBlock. It's an optional third party extension.
And this doesn't remove ads from a site, it takes an article and presents it in a more readable fashion.
Anyway, I can't get Readability to work properly in Opera, another problem with it is it doesn't seem to take the pictures from the article and flow the text around them. Neither does it collect the entire article if it's on more than one page. Other than that, great spot!
When I went to add Readability (in O 10.10) I couldn't see the "Readability badge" they mentioned, but a right-click in the right spot let me add it to my bookmarks anyway, and from there to the personal bar was just a small step.

Well - I've just tried to convert the online Javascript to an UserJS but my JS knowledge is quite limited.
I grabbed the original script written by arc90 that Apple used for their newest "invention" in Safari 5. (see screenshot of the Apple Safari 5 Acknowledgements
I added Lex1's idea o how to start a UserJS on demand by pressing a button and included the sprite PNG image base64 encoded inline.
Here you can find the script and the button (you'll need to install both)
It seems to work so far (at least on my test systems), but there are some problems I can't solve alone. If someone has got some time to spare, she|he can take a short look at the source to give me some hints. Any help is appreciated ...
Discussions about that script here please.

It already has it, as already pointed out: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

It's not the same. It sort of works (until I installed the latest snapshot and my personal bar became blank), but I'd like a built in feature that works like Safari's Reader. I would like pictures embedded in the text, I would like multi-page articles to load automatically, and I would like a hotkey like Safari's Cmd+Shift+R.

Really nice, useful built-in feature of the new Safari.
Happy Dell Streak owner!
