Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Yes, pretty simple.. I like that it calls it like it is, however, I think there should always be the option to remove images. I like the simplified speed reader view.. cuts out "filler words" ..I wish that I could copy/paste like that too. I like that it works with my Auto Copy extension. Last updated February 16, 2020
