Read Something Great

Read any article in a clean, quiet view with beautiful type, and find your next great read.

Read Something Great turns any article into a clean, quiet page you'll want to read to the end. Click the seal in your toolbar, or press Alt+R (⌥R on a Mac). The ads, pop-ups and sidebars go, and the article comes back in beautiful type, on a calm page that's easy on the eyes. Press Esc to go back. WHAT YOU GET • Clean view for any article, on any site • Light and dark themes • Serif or sans text, and your own text size, line spacing and page width • A thin line that shows how far you've read and the minutes left • Footnotes beside the text when you point at them, instead of at the bottom of the page • Highlights: select a passage to keep it, write a note beside it, or copy it with a link back • Notes on any page, kept private in your free Read Something Great account • Your corner of RSG: every highlight and note, grouped by article, ready to export as Markdown • At the end of each article, your next great read from Read Something Great PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Clean view runs on the tab you choose, and only when you ask. • Your highlights and notes are yours. Only you can see them. • The extension never sends the address of a page you only read. To check whether a page is one of ours, it sends only the first 4 characters of a code made from the address, which thousands of pages share. • We count how the extension is used (for example, that a highlight was saved) so we can make it better. Those counts never include a page's address or title, or anything you highlight or write.
