  • Click the windowing mode icon (far left of the icons in the top right) and switch that bad boy to tiled windowing mode. Tiled windows will feel odd for a couple of days, but once you switch back to free-floating windows you’ll realize why I’m recommending tiled.

    Look up the PopOS keyboard shortcuts for moving tiled windows around the desktop and workspaces. It’s a game-changing way to use your computer.

    PopOS has been my daily driver for a year. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!


















  • On iOS devices:

    Update Voyager to the latest version as this setting was just added in the latest update.

    Settings > General > Toggle “Always Display Reader Mode”

    Sorry, I don’t use android devices so your mileage may vary if you are on android. A workaround would be to install Firefox as it has a similar feature. Be sure to change the change the default browser in Voyager’s settings to Firefox.

    The reader button in Firefox is located in the url bar at the top right. (At least it is on iOS Firefox.) Hopefully an android user will reply with better context than I can.


  • Safari reader mode strips styling off webpages and displays content in a pre-defined, easy to read format. Reader mode does its best to provide a consistent layout across all sites. It’s great for accessibility but also has many more advantages:

    Reader mode targets the content portions of a website and strips away the rest. In doing so it removes many common annoyances; often times paywalls are bypassed, ads are stripped away, elements like email subscribe and GDPR cookie consent popups are removed.

    Normally you have to tap the “Aa” icon on the top right of the in-app Safari browser every time a new site is loaded. The new Voyager setting removes this unnecessary tap and displays reader mode automatically.

    Firefox on iOS and desktop has the same functionality. I don’t know if reader mode is available on the android in-app browser as I don’t use android devices.
