Status: New idea

When switching to Reader View all images of the article disappear. Not useful when explicative articles tell "It's shown in the picture below. As you can see…", not-so-easy understand news articles without pictures which show how much terrible a quake is, and so on. When an image is included in the text the user must switch to the page, search the picture the text is focusing on (starting from the page's begin because Reader makes text shorter than the article on the webpage text is catched from).

Related: The same goes for embedded content, such as twitter posts.

This might be difficult to do. I use Reader View to remove ads. How would Firefox differentiate image ads and image that is part of the article?

@brixter Ads are usually loaded through iftames running on another origin, isolating their JavaScript and the site's JavaScript.

So Images that are ads are actually relatively easily distinguished. More problematic is that there needs to be a whitelist of allowed hosts in order to allow content like embedded tweets, which ALSO are rendered in an iframe.

Opera does it

(I hope this serves as stimulus, Firefox is much better)
