Summarize web articles in a clean sidebar using Anthropic’s Claude. Extracts content, keeps formatting readable, and saves your preferences.

Web Reader adds a reader-friendly sidebar to any article and generates concise or detailed summaries with Anthropic’s Claude.

Key features:
- One-click summarize: toolbar icon, context menu, or Shift+Alt+S
- Reader view: clean typography, themes, font size and line-height
- Multiple styles: TL;DR, Concise, Detailed
- Caching: keeps recent summaries for quick re-open
- Privacy-first: no analytics; only sends content you request to summarize

How it works:
1) Click the extension or press Shift+Alt+S
2) We extract the main article body and convert it to Markdown
3) Claude generates a summary with your chosen style

Permissions:
- activeTab, scripting: inject the sidebar and extract content after your action
