READR – Clean page, one click
Extension Actions
- Extension status: In-App Purchases
Turn any article into a clean, distraction-free reading view. Export as PDF with Pro.
READR strips any webpage down to just the words.
One click on any article and everything disappears
— cookie banners, autoplay videos, sidebar ads,
subscribe popups — leaving only clean, comfortable
reading.
Built on Mozilla's Readability engine — the same
technology powering Firefox Reader View — so it
works reliably on virtually every website. News
sites, Medium, Substack, Wikipedia, research
papers, blogs. Any site. Any article.

CROSS-DEVICE SYNC — HOW IT WORKS
When you close the READR overlay, your reading
position is silently saved by paragraph — not
pixels, so it works perfectly across different
screen sizes and devices.
Open the same article anywhere and a small prompt
appears: "Continue reading from 67% →"
One click. Exact paragraph. Any device.
No account required. No login. No server.

PRIVACY FIRST
No telemetry. No data collection. No backend
server. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Only 4 permissions requested:
activeTab, scripting, storage, tabs.
Nothing more than what is needed.
Nothing stored beyond your own device and
Chrome's own secure sync infrastructure.
