Walciley Vieira (ID: 0000005a4e1fad35) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/04/2022 Não funciona, abri uma nova pagina vazia somente.

Douglas Lima (ID: 000000f687180c9f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/01/2021 Exactly what I was looking for. I love listening to web novels and I hated to have to click "next chapter" and restart the extension that reads it aloud. With this extension I just press N to go to next chapter and press S to start reading again. If the extension could automatically go to the next chapter and start reading it would be a dream.

Gitesh Kumar (ID: 0000005378e16537) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/05/2020 Writing to just get the ball rolling. Me being the developer this review will be heavily biased. I am an avid reader and I had tried tons of applications and extensions which help me read massive articles online. I somehow always found them lacking in one way or another. And thus, came in Read Easy. Developed for me by me with all the features which I always wanted while reading online. And honestly, I think I have achieved what I set out to do. I have tested it mostly on royalroad.com and wanderinginn.com, and it seems to work like a charm. Also, I just love the dark theme. Its the best.
