In reply to Joe Olson. Hi, that's because they changed it, as explained in the article (you obviously missed that part). This modification is no longer required. Simply right-click over Reading List and untick Show reading list option.

This feature is pretty useless. All you need do to save pages you want to view later is to click and drag the lock icon of any URL to your desktop or a folder. Then to view later, simply click the items you’ve placed on the desktop or inside the folder. I’ve been doing this for years. When you are finished with them, simply delete.

Copy & paste the command below on a new tab to disable.
chrome://flags/#read-later
