Tip 88Email Web Pages in a Simple Layout

Clicking it will activate Reader mode.

A useful byproduct of Reader is that it will also simplify a page if you want to email it to somebody, reducing the risk that the page will display incorrectly when they open the email. Just switch to Reader view, and then click the Email this Page link in the Share Sheet drop-down menu (the first button to the left of the address bar).
