Overview

A stunning, minimalist reader mode extension.

Reader Mode A fast, minimalist reader extension designed to automatically enable a better reading experience. Features Smart Auto-Triggering: Define simple rules (like wsj.com/) to automatically format your favorite publications the moment you load them. Precise Whitelisting: Exclude specific URLs from your auto-trigger rules. Easily blacklist a homepage while keeping the rest of the site's articles in reader mode. Transient Toggles: Quickly turn the reader off on a specific page using Cmd+Shift+E (or Ctrl+Shift+E) to view the original site without breaking your global auto-trigger rules. Distraction-Free Environment: Strips away ads, sidebars, and chaotic layouts, leaving only the content. Scrollbars are replaced with a minimal 2px top progress indicator, and your cursor hides when idle.
