Plumb - Read Smarter
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-15.
Transform articles via natural language processing into a revolutionary reading format that allows you to read smarter and faster.
The way we read is archaic—left to right with line breaks at fixed lengths (thus making them completely random). This made sense in the age of print when paper real estate was a legitimate concern. But in this digital age where screen real estate is no longer a constraint, we can be smarter.
Plumb breaks down sentences into discrete chunks of ideas so that our brain doesn't have to. Consider the sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." This sentence follows the subject-verb-object structure and can be thus be broken down into three separate entities:
(1) The quick brown fox
(2) jumps over
(3) the lazy dog.
By presenting this sentence with line breaks at the end of each entity, coupled with vertical centering to minimize unnecessary eye movement, Plumb presents a bold new way in how we digest written information.

Exciting project! (by the way, you can require permission for a list of news sites only and optional for all)
