I just downloaded and tried the plugin. It's fast. Arguably faster than invoking reader mode on Safari. Happy that such an extension exists.

Alan Rempel

Outstanding. Very customizable; smooth as honey; fragrant as olive oil.

Erica Colin

This extension works well, but looks very similar to the Reading List button in Chrome. I've accidentally hit it many times while trying to add a website to my reading list. The icon should be updated to avoid confusion.

Jerry Suppan

I love this extension. It is excellent to be able to save education and information resources to my personal knowledge database for reference. I wish though it would (could) provide an option to save highlights, notes, and other such annotations when saving to html, and/or printing to pdf my personal knowledge base reference collection.

Matt Splatz

absolutely Amazing!!!!

i basically never write extension reviews but this is PERFECT for me. im a college student and it provides highlighted reading, tts, sticky notes on the page THAT DONT MOVE WHEN YOU SCROLL!!! and and AND, you can change the text size, font, background color, all of it. I LOVE IT. it removes any distractions so you can focus on JUST THE TEXT. i literally booted up my janky laptop (its on its last breath) just to rediscover what this extension was because the others I'd tried just were not cutting it at all. EDIT 01.19.24: I FAILED TO MENTION SO MANY THINGS. First, I dont think it works on EVERY page. But that's also to be expected. So, not EVERY, but MOST. another mention of tts because i love it and literally cannot process any sort of reading without either reading it myself or having another person read it to me. There is ONE downside. ONE. The tts controls can be a little finicky at times and trying to pause or skip forward can sometimes force a misclick and you have to try AGAIN and AGAIN to get it to do what you want it to do. Imagine trying to hit the "skip forward" button but the "pause button"'s hitbox is too big so you manage to pause it like 10 times before actually moving your cursor slightly to ENSURE THAT YOU HIT THE SKIP BUTTON. Its like that. But personally i can overlook it!!! Its not that much of an issue once you figure out how to work around it :) thank u for saving me, my autism, and my English grade. i love you reader view mwah mwah

I used it just for a few minutes. I think it'll be helpful but there is a minor problem : It doesn't allow me to use other extensions when I'm in reading mode. especially Pop-up translation of Google Translate extension. Please fix it

best reader review

Stephen Felce

Now often fails completely but works again if I uninstall and reinstall.

MICHAEL ANHAR

No idea what's happened to this thing. Since the latest update (I think the one that added a selection of fonts), this extension no longer honors my custom CSS rules. What a shame. Update: Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Uninstalling permanently now and looking for an alternative.

Sebastián Expósito

It's perfect

NaDech Yu

Really passionate and feature-rich extension, best reader mode I have used.

YiddishClass

Stopped working in Brave browser for me today. Otherwise great extension.

Ali Arbabian

Just works quickly and doesn't try to do too much. And it's free. Perfect software.
