Just Read is a feature-packed and customizable reader view.
With one click (or less!), you can remove distractions like:
- The page's styling
- Ads
- Popups
- Comments
And read the article in a customizable, simplified format - like a read mode but better!
Users can:
- Summarize the article using AI.
- Use the default white and dark themes.
- Modify their theme using a graphical editor or CSS.
- Use a theme someone else has made (found at https://goo.gl/Z59SM4 ).
- Use their very own custom styling.
- Auto-run the reader format on specific sites.
- Use a keyboard shortcut to run the reader.
- Print the custom-styled version of the article.
- Use the selection mode to choose exactly which text they want to select for reading.
- Use the deletion mode to remove any unwanted content after selection.
- Edit incorrect meta information generated.
- Control which options the reader uses.
- Go straight to the next chapter from the reader view.
Just Read Premium has even more features!
- Permanently save the reader version of pages
- Share the reader version of pages with others
- Link directly to a section of the page within the shared reader view
- Highlight and annotate pages
- Add comments
- Use a custom scrollbar
- Auto-scroll the article
- Apply domain-specific selectors, which give ultimate control to the content auto-selection

- Not always 100% ad free (but close enough). A great relief to read an article without those disturbing and blinking ads.
- Kerem S
- minimal reader, reader view and reader for goggle chrome is better than this.
- Sonie Sung

- great when the page you are trying to read is infested with ads that make it almost unreadable
- SKRE Coastal Living
- We use this all the time to print pages with too many graphics and fillers. Very useful!
- Dave Wain
- I loaded a website that had soft blue text on mid blue background. Not a great choice but I really wanted to read it. So I hunted for a readability extension (after checking Brave settings) and came across Just Read with good reviews. I installed it quickly (as most extensions) went back to the webpage and clicked the extension button and - presto! - black text on white background, with minimal but necessary formatting. As an ex-web developer, I am impressed.
- Kim Hyung
- It's good but some features not working well for me sadly :(
- Zach Diesel
- Good reader but the first ever use there is a pop up asking me to buy premium
- Joe McCarthy
- Slips around paywall very neatly, as well as being a great reader mode.
- Krstia no
- YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! ITS AMAZING but i wish it had a smoother page transition

- Thien Anh
- I love it so much! It's truly useful, and it helps me pass the IELTS exam by reading and highlighting, I got 9.0! I want to say thank you to the developer and I hope that this extension must last longer!
- Marek Barton
- Hi, it is a great tool, however, the context popups are quite distracting... please, is there any possibility to remove "add note" bubble and also to remove menu for text annotation (which appears any time some text is marked)? Can these features be turned off? edit: Great! Thank you, now five stars! :D
- Mike Power
- Perfect extension. Extremely useful. Clean and simple to use. I'm not in need of premium but I pay it to thank the developer and help keep it going. With more and more webpages getting cluttered this is a must have, especially for long articles and blog posts. I've tried out other reader extensions but this remains my top choice.

- grt extention for students its not working for this page and some other pages of this website https://www.civilsdaily.com/story/issues-related-to-economic-growth/ can u please fix it ?

- the extension is slow at loading the page, not very customizable, and doesn't offer the text-to-speech feature that I want. But you got the option to enter the rgb to change the color of the background, seriously!! who has time for that?? Replay Dec 22 I can't find this color pallet, and I don't need orange or red color, only dark or sepia Bg for reading..!! I know that some may like the Idea of entering rgp color numbers to get the desired Bg but Im sure it pointless and it will become a source of procrastination for so many, including me, directing the reader to another page for more customization, or pre made themes in Github!! I get scared on that website men I need a one click away customization, not a small black box at the top that directs me away..

- About as perfect as you can get! Simplifies reading and completely reliable. This is one worth paying for.

- Does not work. This program opens only the first page in a format for reading (and printing)._ Не работает. Эта программа открывает в формате для чтения( и вывода на печать) только первую страницу.
- Нарек Аршакян
- Просто гениальный ответ сучкам, которые прячут текст от чтения. Спасибо большое!!!

- I installed this extension and went right to premium so I could share the Just Read version of pages with others via email. I was hoping for something similar to EmailThis which I paid for the premium version too. That WAS a great extension as the developer doesn't keep it working any longer. The Just Read link is good but could be better if the reader version could be emailed intact with the article title and link to the original article with the JR version intact in the email body. To send an email with the link I have to give the email a title because the link doesn't provide that info. Hope this makes sense for improving a great extension. Thanks, Tom

- чудове розширення, але не вистачає можливості вирівнювання тексту за шириною
- Andreas Persson
- Happy user since many years, however lately this extension make FB Messenger (always open in a pinned Tab) go crazy, loading all data for all chats = use 50% + CPU/RAM, go unresponsive etc. As soon as this is fixed this will be a 4 star again.
- Aaron Mauldin
- Just what I needed. Appears to work great!
