(2024-07-16) Ire E.: It's good enough, but it has an annoying bug or feature: When I click outside the content area, the reading mode closes. And it makes me lost the reading position.
(2023-10-07) why: the best read mode extension. it would be very nice if this can keep usable.
(2023-08-29) Pat MySecret: Love the simplicity that this Reader view will let you add a domain to auto load with! One drawback: I couldn't copy/paste from.. even when using keyboard shortcuts Workaround: added the extension Superior Allow Copy Does a nice job of highlighting, adding notes, etc.
(2023-08-22) Sergio Henrique da Silva Pereira: Ótima extensão. Facilita a leitura ao destacar somente o texto.
(2023-07-28) Fabian Diaz: Super effective and beautiful.
(2022-08-03) Malvina: Amazing!
(2022-07-28) Damian Barletta: The best reader view I've tried so far. Very similar to safari experience!!
(2022-07-21) Luca Foglieni: The view is perfect but i would like it to have a setting that enable reader mode automatically when entering a site that support reader view. That would be truly perfect.
(2022-07-10) Эдуард Мухаметзянов: Нет настроек шрифта, цвета фона и сохранения файла на компьютер или в облачное хранения.
(2022-03-05) Stephen Seymour: This is the best reader extension I've used on Chrome. It's similar to the reader view on Safari.
(2022-03-05) Michael Gasperl: Wow, that's like in Safari, and that's a good thing. I consider Safari Reader Mode as the best one. SRV even has the Seravek font like in Safari. This extension should be a part of any Chrome browser.
(2021-12-01) Daniel: Love it, after looking for the best reader view - this is the one. Thank you!
(2021-11-05) Jianhua Xu: This is wonderful, but I can't manage any option, because the the options cannot be activated, any suggestion?
(2021-09-12) Rami Refaat Amin: simple and easy to use i love it.
(2021-08-31) random: this actually works
(2021-08-21) Péter Kolossa: I have tried several reading modes, and this is the best. Chrome's built-in reader mode, the one that you must enable trough a flag, is lackluster, and doesn't work 30-40% of the time. Even when it works, the output is far from perfect. Most other reading mode extensions have lots of clutter, unnecessary features, advertising and bad UI. Edge has the best built-in reader mode - but this extension is miles ahead of any of them. Kudos!
(2021-07-19) Akhil Reddy Gopireddy: Excellent piece of work by developers...
(2021-06-29) Filzstift: Не на всех сайтах работает.
(2021-06-01) J K: For me, this extension provides the best service in terms of easiness of reading, couldn't find any other one that is better. Wish that the developer willing to periodically add further function like multi highlighter. So that I will keep on relying to this extension for years to come
(2021-05-27) Sandeep Kamath: Excellent extension! Love it!
(2021-04-04) Taner Cinar: really is the best. finally found a proper one
(2021-03-16) Maurice Beaujon: Definitely the best extension out there!
(2021-03-14) Maik Lindner: Sehr einfach gehalten, funktioniert gut. Das Icon fügt sich perfekt ein. Leider lassen sich die Ansichten nicht als HTML speichern, um bspw. auf dem eBook-Reader lesen.
(2021-02-25) Luan Rodrigues: but it could have an automatic mode, similar to that of FireFox.
(2021-02-24) pau guerrero: I've tried many reader extesions in chromium and this is by far the best
(2021-02-06) storm revolution: 在问答网站上，可以识别连续的回答，但是不能识别回答下面已经展开的评论，希望改进
(2021-01-12) Suddha Ray: The best among the lot.. Keep it up!
(2020-10-26) 钟奇江: 太好用了，支持！

(2020-09-14) Anitr Baby: great extension did excellent job
(2020-09-03) Twesh Mishra: Amazing. Just hope it's not some Chinese spy app. It's the best reader app I have seen,
(2020-07-28) Hiroki Uemura: Simple and easy to use. It's helpful. It would be better if there was a function to highlight only the area over which the mouse is hovering in focus mode (and gray out the others).
(2020-07-22) Clyde David: Indispensable and easy to use, Highly recommended.
(2020-07-11) Zee Wee: awesome！
(2020-04-16) mary lite: wow this help me and my friend

(2020-04-16) Lala Good: wow this extension is very useful
(2020-04-16) Give Pelumu: Thanks for creating this extension
(2020-03-08) echo app: I've tried many reader view extensions, this one is by far the best. I read google news a lot, most of the news sites are cluttered with ads. I just turn on the "Use Reader automatically" mode on them, and use the Best Reader exclusively on them. It reduces the loading time from like 10 seconds for some of the websites to 2-3 seconds. Big time saver for me.
