Beautiful implementation with no distractions. Just blasted through a few essays, and it was a joy to use. It's adjustable to various speeds, and I recommend using it for a few practice sessions, and then nudge up the speed until you feel you're losing comprehension, and then back off just a bit.. You can probably go faster than you think, the brain is an amazing thing. Suggestions: A pause feature would be a nice addition (unless it already has one, and I just didn't see it).

Great free app! I'm currently a student and it's so much simpler to use than the other speed reading apps behind paywalls. Thank you!

Great work. Your Twitter post and the video demo mentions you add the red letter anchor and dark mode, but the extension does not show those features when I ran it. Are there additional settings needed to enable them?
Alexandru STOICA
It really works! It helps with reading and understanding much faster than the usual ‘word‑from‑sentence’ reading.

Auto Parse does not work

Does exactly what it says it does, no ads or tomfoolery. Heck yeah!
