Jack Karanik (Patriot_Pills) (ID: 00000027ecaab0d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2021 Gives word count, character count, sentence count, grade level, average read time, and even word density (most used words with numbers). Thought would open another page, but was happily surprised it was a pop-up menu! Great extension for highschoolers and college kids alike!
