  1. Go to https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210324-assisting-evolution-how-much-should-we-help-species-adapt
  2. Reader mode button does not show up
  3. Prepend about:reader?url= to the URL
  4. Article shows up

It also works (shows the reader button for me) after a refresh, presumably because things are cached or something. I expect we check the result too early / don't re-evaluate it after more content arrives dynamically. I don't know why without debugging in more detail, and I don't have time to do that right now. :-(

As of today, it appears that this issue has resolved from the bbc.com end as the reader view button now shows up as expected.
