Features & Capabilities

This powerful add-on enables the user to manage how and when to enable read mode. To manage the extension just click its icon in the extension menu. It has two modes: Enable Reader View by default or not. The user can navigate effortlessly between the two modes by toggling the checkbox in the UI.

If it's set to automatically open all pages in reader mode it will do so in all websites regardless if they can be readerable or not. However, if the user adds a website to the blacklist, it will not be opened in reader view.

The other mode, also known as Whitelist Mode, makes it so that only the websites added in the whitelist are automatically opened in reader mode.

Future Plans In the future versions, it is planned to add a toggle that allows the reader mode in only readerable websites. Aka, the ones where the reader button in the URL bar appears. For more information about what is considered a readerable extension see: [this article](https://videoinu.com/blog/firefox-reader-view-heuristics/), or the [source code](https://github.com/mozilla/readability).

Credits & Apologies This extension was based and inspired by Florian Khort's [Activate Reader View](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/activate-reader-view/) add-on.

This was my first firefox add-on and the first time that I have coded in javascript really, so the code might be a bit wonky and inefficient. If you think you can improve the code please feel free to do so by creating a pull request on GitHub.

Is Auto Reader Manager Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Auto Reader Manager requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
