Pocket may be gone, but your Mac has a powerful built-in replacement that's been hiding in plain sight all along. Mikah Sargent reveals Safari's underutilized Reading List feature and shows how it can seamlessly replace your favorite read-later apps with smart offline capabilities and cross-device syncing.
