Read Mode Extension

Just click on the glasses icon in the address bar, the current page will turn into a nice-to-read black on white page allowing you to read without forcing your eyes. Ads and Flash animations are also removed while on read-mode. Click the icon again and everything will go back to normal.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 Funky imagery/layout. A little slower than most similar types. This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. No options. This reader blurbed things out unexpectedly ..with either an odd arc image, or just info deletion..and it didn't offer me things that I couldn't find elsewhere. Last update 2012

komar alananta (ID: 000000276eecfa6c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/23/2021 doesn't seems to work for me. EDIT : Now it works. refresh your page for first time use.

Nicholas (ID: 000000a2bff8a46a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/18/2021 Great extension! Allows me to use a Greasemonkey script for auto-scrolling on keypress (link to script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/7658-auto-scroll-keys-adopted) for the TestOut website by successfully scrolling through the Read Mode page. Before this extension, the TestOut page did not allow this script to function.
