Blipread: page reading time Extension

Blipread is a simple way to see how long it takes for you to read a page.
How much time do you have? Read now or later? Here's the answer.

This extension should work on Windows, Mac and Linux.

FEATURES

• displays in the toolbar the time in minutes to read the page
• your reading speed can be adjusted

HOW IT WORKS

This extension counts the number of words on the page, and using the reading speed provided estimates how long it will take for you to read the whole page. While it's likely there are more words on the page that aren't strictly content, it's still a useful indication once adjusted for your reading speed in words per minute.

Angela Rollins (ID: 000000f6510c2254) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/18/2023 I've tested many reading time estimator extensions and this one is the best. It's non-intrusive since it doesn't sit on top of the website you're viewing like many do. And it's quick -- I don't have to highlight specific text and then click through to find the reading time.

Marcelo Murras (ID: 0000008e510dc22f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2021 This should be a default function in chrome. I absolutely can't work nowadays without calculating my reading time with each page. Thanks!
