# Reader mode

_Reader mode_ lets you view pages so that only text and accompanying images or videos display. Other page elements, such as banners, site control elements, and social media buttons, are hidden.

As you scroll the page, the settings panel disappears. To see it again, go back to the top of the page.

To free up some space for the text, you can also hide the upper panel of [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/). To do this, switch to the full-screen mode by pressing **F11**. To exit the full-screen mode, press **F11** again.
