2025-02-12 Harman Singh This extension is quite useful, but there are some features that I would really like to see added: 1. I often use the extension with the page-down button. Normally, I expect the next page to start from the top. However, on the last page, when the content ends prematurely, the next (last) page starts somewhere in between. This disrupts the reading flow, as I have to manually search for the beginning of the text. 2. There is no indication of how much of the page has been read. It would be helpful to have a page number, scroll bar, or some other visual cue to track progress.
2023-02-01 Ian Channing Has some lovely touches where I can specify my own font so I can get reader mode with AMS "Latin Modern Roman" so that what ever page I want to read in depth looks like LaTeX. Simple mode is also great without any of the buttons.
2023-01-16 JGD Extension épatante et auteur très réactif. J'apprécie particulièrement l'édition et la copie en HTML, légère et facilement transmettable.

2022-07-12 Nicole Ahmed This addon works by enable forcing of reader view where firefox does not automatically give the options (i.e. the button at the end of the address bar is not available). The reader view is what is natively provided by firefox but this addon lets you use the native view with all sites. The forced reader view is working well on the sites where it was not allowed so I'm happy!
2022-07-07 jalanb It bypasses all paywalls at most sites (except The Times). From a search result just click to the text. No ads, headers, suggestions. Just the text
