I don't see how efficiently have this feature. The reader library needs a loaded document to parse the content and if we want to load the document in a new tab, we need to first load the normal document and then switch to the reader view when the document is fully loaded which is going to take longer. See how the "Open in Reader View" context menu over links work.
A possible idea: Cloning the #document, passing it to Readability, and when it returns the result, creating a shadowRoot / iframe element with zIndexes set to maximum, which overlays the default content. When switching back to the standard mode, setting display:none on the shadowRoot element. Then it wouldn't be necessary to open a new tab, because switching would be instant.
which overlays the default content.
This is going to reduce performance. To prevent advertising and tracking scripts from being active, this extension replaces the entire document.

He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

Some websites are not loading the whole text immediately. For example, Quora shows a "more" button. Which sometimes requires navigating back and reopening the reader mode. But because it's happening in the same tab, the previous web page has unloaded and has to be loaded again, which sometimes might take a few seconds. Opening in a new tab would allow to switch more quickly between the reader mode and the web page.
