Readobo Extension

Readobo analyzes paragraphs and lists on a webpage and determines how long it'll take to read. It is based on the Flesch Reading Ease.

Instead of scrolling down and briefly glimpsing at text, you can use this tool to help manage internet reading time by having a better understanding of about how long a site would take to read. This extension works best on English blogs, wiki articles, and news articles.
