Description from store

Avoid clickbait by having this extension sum it up before you even click it.

Adds a right-click menu option to retrieve the punchline of a linked clickbait article without opening the page. The punchline will be shown behind the link's text after a few seconds, along with an estimate of the reading time.

Results will vary but should satisfy your curiosity enough to avoid the clickbait. Works best on typical clickbait headlines, about a.o. why, when, quotes, names, "amazing discoveries", and money. It can not (yet) handle numbered lists or quizzes.

Different from crowdsourced clickbait summarizers, this extension is fully automated and therefore not limited in scope.

Works quite well and I like the addition of knowing how long the article is. It's a bit unintuitive with having to manually right click and select the web extension. I'm currently thinking about training an NLP to automatically detect and replace clickbait but it's nice to know this extension exists as a fallback.
