Thenmozhi Mohanakrishnan (Priya) (ID: 00000004a9d41785) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2022 Very useful extension for focused reading. Appreciate the developer's idea to create such extension. I was preparing for an exam and was frequently getting distracted by my own thoughts. But after enabling focused reader was able to quickly get back to reading.
