Just Read Extension

Just Read is a feature-packed and customizable reader view.

With one click (or less!), you can remove distractions like:
- The page's styling
- Ads
- Popups
- Comments

And read the article in a customizable, simplified format - like a read mode but better!

Users can:
- Summarize the article using AI.
- Use the default white and dark themes.
- Modify their theme using a graphical editor or CSS.
- Use a theme someone else has made (found at https://goo.gl/Z59SM4 ).
- Use their very own custom styling.
- Auto-run the reader format on specific sites.
- Use a keyboard shortcut to run the reader.
- Print the custom-styled version of the article.
- Use the selection mode to choose exactly which text they want to select for reading.
- Use the deletion mode to remove any unwanted content after selection.
- Edit incorrect meta information generated.
- Control which options the reader uses.
- Go straight to the next chapter from the reader view.

Just Read Premium has even more features!
- Permanently save the reader version of pages
- Share the reader version of pages with others
- Link directly to a section of the page within the shared reader view
- Highlight and annotate pages
- Add comments
- Use a custom scrollbar
- Auto-scroll the article
- Apply domain-specific selectors, which give ultimate control to the content auto-selection

Mike Power (ID: 000000b0ab9199be) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/16/2024 Perfect extension. Extremely useful. Clean and simple to use. I'm not in need of premium but I pay it to thank the developer and help keep it going. With more and more webpages getting cluttered this is a must have, especially for long articles and blog posts. I've tried out other reader extensions but this remains my top choice.

LaMont Price (ID: 000000ec07961a2e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 Perfect and simple extension. A must have. Pay the $12 bucks for the premium.

Alvi Siddique (ID: 0000000c8fb81ca0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 works perfectly. But would be better with more theme, like brown background.
