FYI：This is a outdated plugin, use the new one [最新版]Circle 阅读助手 (https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/circle-reader) instead

The addon reassembles a TLDR with dark background so the screen and the story inside becomes easy readable. The technical options of control over what we see and how is modified are very generous, perhaps boring for some, but useful. The addon name relates to a circle of friendship. There are some privacy and conditions offered for agreement as if coming from institution. Perhaps a group or a school. As the addon itself serves reading. Thank you. There is also a payment option for more addon features but one link addresses a network failure. Maybe is better to not qualify passing this test. However if true, the bonus features are awesome as coming after payment but only if true
