I just added a link to to my blog's RSS feed in the blog index page, and Librewolf now has a Reader View button for that page, which seems to let people read RSS entries instead of the normal HTML pages. The reader view also includes read time estimates. The index is about one minute, and an entry i clicked says 2-3. Where does this estimate come from?
