What's not to love?I love the simplicity and the Solarized theme! Thank you!
BEST?
No frills page reader in lieu with Firefox's reader. Certainly better than Brave's own Speedreader. Particularly like the Solarized theme. Many thanks.
I love it. It can usually copy any piece of text that I find difficult to read and put it into a format that is uncluttered and simple.
This is a well thought out extension that does what is says. Very impressive.
Super Helpful!!
Gets the job done
Really useful, clean and customizable. Would be nice if there's an option to move the toolbar though.
Makes reading so much easier, takes away all the distractions for me. Perfect!
I would like an option where you press A to remove all link styles. Links in wikipedia articles are awesome but clutter the page.
Highly recommended it. Outstanding!
Unable to customize shortcuts, which is conflicting with my browser.
The only one I've found really good so far!
super
Good, using it for years now.
This Reader Rocks! It has a rhythm once you get on the page as it takes you a little time to get the view to start. I have tried others and this seem to work WELL, exceptionally well!!
what's the point of a reader view if you can't even choose basic things like background color? why is there no option for pure white with black text???
Powerful and easy to use
Clean and powerful
One of the best extensions in its category
8:30 AM Hi, I use this application a lot to turn stories that posted in forum into books, but recent update kinda broke it for me. Before it only show the page with story content that I need. Now each comment of the topic is considered a page, so there are just a lot of extra pages that I don't need, and I am forced to turn pages a lot. Please return the old paging method. Thank you.
I just downloaded and tried the plugin. It's fast. Arguably faster than invoking reader mode on Safari. Happy that such an extension exists.
Outstanding. Very customizable; smooth as honey; fragrant as olive oil.
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.
I use this extension to save tech support documents in extremely lightweight HTML. Truly excelent extension.
Full control over text size, font, page width and more. Bionic Reading available! Excellent Extension!
can I change to my pc installed fonts?
This is just fascinating, I write this review in particular to extend my sincere gratitude to the developer of this add-on, thank you very much.
