In Safari 14, if "Reader Mode" was available, a "page" icon appeared next to the address bar. Clicking that icon activated Reader Mode for that page.

In Safari 15, that icon is gone.

For example, see this article in Wired, Review: Apple iPad Mini (2021).

I find I can still activate Reader mode by choosing the menu item View > Show Reader. Ironically, after doing so that page icon appears in the old location, available to turn off Reader Mode. But how can I similarly turn on reader mode with a quick click of an icon?

    The icon is in the same spot as before (left edge of the address bar). It doesn't show up for me on the article you have open either, but works fine on others.

Reader Mode does not properly recognize the article you've linked to. It would not have appeared in previous versions either.

Reader Mode icon appears within the address bar on the left side
