"Reader Available" feature is Safari - exclusive?

When using Safari with iOS, I have for long been turning on the reader
button placed before the address bar when a page loads and VoiceOver
announces "reader available".
Just helps me skip nav / ad content and get straight to the main content.
I suppose this helps many users with / without disabilities. It also
works on a Mac.

This is not available with other browsers / on other platforms, right?

Thanks,
