- (2023-03-24) Gregory Chen: Must have. can u allow page width to go beyond 120%? it's not wide enough on a smaller screen like a laptop. also would like to have a "bold" button for the font
- (2023-03-20) Little Mavis: Super!!
- (2023-03-11) Nikola Ristic: Best reading extension.
- (2023-03-09) Suhankov Vlad: Not a single page is analyzed by the reader
- (2023-03-08) 23 pengvis: 广告不广告的无所谓,广告也是一种商业的形式。最主要的,是把页面简洁化,且对比度讨喜。之前用简悦,自从付费了之后就没再更新过,那个对比度亮瞎我的钛合金X眼。
- (2023-03-07) Alex tan: 界面清爽。就是免费版不能自定义字体比较不爽。希望能支持载入本地epub书籍!
- (2023-03-06) guodong liang: 好用
- (2023-03-03) Sres DyD: Muy buena aplicacion de escritorio.
- (2023-02-24) Mark Paal: I just installed this browser extension. Examination. I display the page of the online store with my order, for printing. I need to get a list in order to accept goods from the courier. Bottom line: after enabling this extension, the print output is very poor. The result is simply unacceptable. I delete it right away.
- (2023-02-18) 网于睿: 能自动生成左侧目录栏、一键复制代码很棒
- (2023-02-15) Sami C: So Dark mode is now a paid feature? You wanna get fghked ?
- (2023-02-08) Miguel: Me deja ver las páginas de los periódicos cuando las tapa el habitual pantallón que cubre todo tras unos segundos en los artículos de pago. Si la página no está cargada "por debajo", no hay nada que hacer, pero las mayoría de las veces está ahí todo. Depende del periódico y la página. En general, muy útil. No paro de usarlo.
- (2023-02-05) 李志傑: 極簡就是棒
- (2023-02-02) Louis Rosenberg: It used to be a significant extension, sadly I'll have to uninstall it since it started to become a pay-for-use app.
- (2023-02-02) Ahmet Çetinkaya: Dark mode must not be premium feature.
- (2023-02-01) JIE CAI: 作为元老用户,作为优质扩展,收费无可厚非,但是一开始的免费功能都转成收费的,吃相太难看,一个浏览器缺你一个扩展?
- (2023-01-26) Skarluna Cruz: funciona bien
- (2023-01-25) Darlin 4: No funciona
- (2023-01-23) Jon Ander: hasta ahora me gustaba, pero me han borrado el modo oscuro que tenía configurado y ahora si quiero volver a ponerlo, tengo que pagar
- (2023-01-20) Jeremy Black: Worked fine until they decided something as basic as supporting dark mode had to be paid for. Back to Pocket or Instapaper
- (2023-01-19) Niek van der Voort: Works like a Charm!
- (2023-01-13) Sakari Niittymaa: Todella hyvä lisäosa selaimeen kun haluaa keskittyä lukemiseen! Suosittelen.
- (2023-01-10) Dave Howes: This app is a game changer for me. Hope it is around for a long time. Thank you Clearly
- (2023-01-10) Flor Farías: It's good, but hard to take advantage of it now that a lot of options previously free are premium now.
- (2023-01-07) su su: Good!!!
- (2023-01-06) りきま: I wonder how many people would pay for such a niche feature. Doesn't feel worth it even when they give you early bird price. Pics are often rendered awkwardly or not rendered at all. And to remind you, reader view is a builtin feature on apple safari.
- (2023-01-05) Chris M: Much better than other extensions in clearing the page of unwanted advts, etc. Even allows access to text content behind pay walls. A must have/ must download extension.
- (2022-12-30) Nguyễn Thị Hải Đường 2Đ-20: I can't find any extension better than this. It worths my money to upgrade to premium. Thank you so much for this wonderful extension!
- (2022-12-27) Алексей Губин: Отличный ридер, на голову выше конкурентов.
- (2022-12-26) 为了只是曾经: 以前简单的样式是免费的,现在全部转为Pro专属 8USD过于昂贵,2USD会考虑一下 逼着用户付费,劝退
- (2022-12-24) Synn: Used to be free,, but now not
- (2022-12-20) Ignacio Zabaleta: era buena hasta que convirtieron varias de sus opciones a opciones de paga. Creo que buscare otra app que no tenga tantas limitantes.
- (2022-12-18) Richard Tran: Putting a paywall on some style features that used to be free (such as font size, page width and background) is greedy. Would have been understandable if the paid features were new extra ones but locking current style customization is truly money-hungry.
- (2022-12-18) EUNKYU BEOM (맘편히살자): Very very good!
- (2022-12-16) 倪女亭: All Theme Settings are pro feature now , Well Done !
- (2022-12-08) Billy Jin: it's great add-on, I love it, but there are minor issue for me, when I use hotkey "alt+r" , it shows strange pages differ from mouse clicking clearly button loaded open pages.
- (2022-12-05) Enric Pérez: Por lo general funciona muy bien. Solo flaquea en los muros de pago más fuertes.
- (2022-12-04) Rabbit_G: The best app on a market!!!!
- (2022-12-03) Mathias Danaraj: Best clear readr out there.
- (2022-12-03) Ahmet Çetinkaya: Best extension for reading. It has many options for changing your reading page.
- (2022-12-02) Kimberley B: Super helpful, opens many articles otherwise blocked by paywalls. It's so much easier reading without all the clutter of ads, too.
- (2022-11-22) Slifer: great.
- (2022-11-19) Trader Jeong: 주식하는 사람으로 정말 최고의 앱입니다. 최고 최고 너무 감사한앱
- (2022-11-19) Guilherme Boaviagem Ribeiro: Works perfectly, I love it.
- (2022-11-17) Maksym Ashykhmin: I like it! Wonderful!
- (2022-11-17) grlscz ian (grlscz): 好用,如果可以多一些themes就更好了
- (2022-11-17) Eddie Wang: show" Content is analyzing...", when active some page. Win 11, Chrome 107.0.5304.107
- (2022-11-16) Crm Crm: funciona satisfactoriamente algunas veces, otras te quedas a l a mitad.
- (2022-11-16) Riccardo C.: Excellent, clean and fast. Works like a charm.
- (2022-11-15) 116 N0ne: 好用是好用, 就是处理代码块的时候, 没有高亮, "复制代码" 在左下角也太突出了,基本上没有格式可言

In the Clearly Reader screen I click on Settings. Then on "Config version - Check version". I get the message "Config Outdated". What do I need to do to fix this? - (2023-01-07, v:1.10.0) Lisa J: Won't read - just see quote from Groucho Marx
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” Groucho Marx - (2023-01-07, v:1.5.0) Bradley Anderson: No margin adjustment ?
The whole point of making a 100 lines of 10 inch long lines of text readable is the ability to re-flow the text into a narrow column of print, like in a newspaper or magazine. Just making the text prettier and ad-free is nice but falls short. - (2023-01-07, v:1.5.0) J1 S1: Medium com

When I was reading this article "https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-021-01111-2" in the Clearly viewer, the figures in the article were not filtered (which is really nice :), but they appeared as "broken image" icons and no real images were shown.

While reading an article on the web, Clearly stopped working abruptly after a few minutes. It happened two or three times, it might have been the website, however. I was reading with Clearly activated and also using the full screen mode. I'd just like to add that I very much enjoy your app, and that it is a very helpful tool. Thanks a lot ! - (2023-01-07, v:1.5.0) Yuelin Zhu: Options are not available.

Problem: I press ALT+R, the page is always show 'Content is analyzing...', and does not disappear. When I first come across this problem, I fix this problem by reinstall the plugin. It works perfect for some day, but the problem appears again now. version: 1.18.1 - (2022-11-03, v:1.18.1) Dahlia Nanasi: How do I disable the "Open Clearly" pop-up box?
Every time I open a new webpage, a small black pop-up box appears in the right hand corner that says "Open Clearly" in white font. I want to disable this feature because I'm tired of having to click the X to make it disappear on every single page. If I want to use the Clearly Reader, I have a simple and easy button I can click on in my toolbar, so there's no need for this little pop-up box that appears directly under it that I have to waste a couple of seconds closing every time I visit a new page with text. This feature is intrusive and bothersome, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it permanently. Can you please instruct me on how to remove the feature? If that is not currently possible, can you please make it an option for your next update, which will hopefully occur very soon? - (2022-09-24, v:1.17.2) hl z: Hi
如果能输出打印时,能把目录加入到pdf中就完美了!! - (2022-09-20, v:1.17.2) David Ruffner: Possible bug when opening external wikipedia articles from "search" feature
When highlighting a word or phrase and clicking search, if I click on a wikipedia article, it includes a GET parameter in the link with key name 'rut' and a value that looks like an md5 hash. Here's an example for clicking on the Wikipedia article on "ARCNET": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCNET&rut=1141662581e3b0b2a011c2bbce51efa978862644824108214a54d9e59ddf9568 When loading this link you will get an error from Wikipedia saying it doesn't have that article, probably because it doesn't know what to do with that param. If the param is removed the link works as expected. Just wanted to make your team aware. - (2022-09-16, v:1.17.2) Bill Ng: 丟失帶有鏈接文字

The exported PDF cannot be annotated. - (2022-08-05, v:1.17.2) Bergg Uscha: Limit what goes to export
Exporting a PDF is very convinient, but exporting the whole webpage is not. I can of course edit the PDF (even though maybe not everyone can), but that's goes against a speedy workflow. I just started using and already can see the efort put into the extension. :) - (2022-06-06, v:1.17.2) thaise silva: extensão não funciona em outro perfil do google chrome

Making discoveries on text from internet can become really memorable if highlight text feature is provided. Sometimes it is also become handy while practicing answer finding tasks, for instance: IELTS reading exam preparations and school assignments! - (2022-05-22, v:1.17.2) Mac Bakewell: No menubar icon?
I love, love, love Clearly Reader. Option-R works (in Catalina) but I'm not seeing any menubar icon. Is that a feature or a bug? Thank you. - (2022-05-09, v:1.17.2) XH Zhuang: Image broke in the viewer

Generally, it works very well for me. However, printing an article to PDF leaves the first page blank except for the headline. I've seen this a few times now, but the specific article is here: https://www.pragcap.com/everything-wrong-with-the-money-printer-go-brrrr-meme/ This is a Pixel Slate running ChromeOS, btw.

I have been unable to install Clearly Reader 1.8 on both the Dev and Beta version of Chrome. A window pops up saying: "An error has occured Could not unzip extension." Any ideas? - (2021-03-16, v:1.7.0) 周峰: It removes all the equations
When a website contains many equations, this extension just remove all the equations and leave just the plain text. Equations are essential for understanding theoretical knowledge, it would be very helpful if you upgrade the filter strategy. - (2020-06-25, v:1.5.0) vinicius santos: Pages

First, let me say thank you. I am a teacher and the way this reduces distractions on the screen and the fact that it will read the text is a lifesaver for many of my students.
