The best clean reader view addon. Just works.
Matthias
On mobile the text is too small and the margins are too wide. (Using Kiwi browser on Android)

Had stopped worknig for about a couple of months. Can't extract text anymore, just shows you a loading wheel.

This is perfect. Simple easy and fast, and a great replacement for the native Chrome reader that tends to appear and disappear every version.

Nice in a simplistic way.. few options. Good for someone who needs something simple. Doesn't work with my Auto Copy extension.

Great extension, nice theming options! Unlike the chrome reading mode, the page doesn't need to reload and the altered page is generated hella fast!

Отлично работает с кривыми страницами и не режет начало текста. Можно менять цвет фона (что платно у других). Только через веб поиск нашёл это расширение. А то в похожих какие-то платные или нерабочие расширения предлагают.

It's nice but it doesn't keep the dark mode option

Hasn't been working for a while. All I get is the big circle working thing.

Doesn't work in Brave Version 1.5.115 Chromium: 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit). Shows loading circle forever.

God bless you team. I am using Version 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit) Loved the feature. My only dislike is that I have to click Distill button every-time, can I make it on by default?

Seems to work fine for me. This is the one thing that Edge browsing had over Chrome -- until now that I've discovered this.

I almost tried all the read-related extensions in chrome and this is the most powerful one I could find. It's the ONLY one working on all the website I selected w/o omitting any information. GOOD

The only extension that works correctly at stackoverflow.com. Great formatting, dark theme, custom CSS... 5 stars from me.

Works perfectly. Love it. Use all the time (sepia and monospace font are my go-to choices)

It doesn't work. Pages don't load, and I see a bunch of javascript errors like, "Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document. at https://www.lightboxcdn.com/lclst/915a8e9b-430c-47ad-9809-4249fbeacffe/ls.html?purl=https%3A%2F%2Fjalopnik.com%2Fwhy-the-cult-of-the-honda-grom-makes-so-much-sense-1792018304&vid=915a8e9b-430c-47ad-9809-4249fbeacffe&se=0&prev=0&cb=636779355680947486:74:25"

Отличное расширение! Есть возможность выбрать одну из предустановленных тем, шрифт (только сам шрифт, размер нельзя, или я не нашел ). Попробовал несколько подобных расширений - это единственное, которое корректно убирает все ненужные колонки и отлично подгоняет страницу к чтению.

On a local news website, I kept getting an annoying popup asking me to disable my ad blocker and I had to keep reloading the page to read a news article. This plug-in promptly fixed the issue by displaying only the article text without the popups (and constant burnups). Works the same way as the reading view on the Microsoft Edge browser. Very useful extension.
