ReadingLine: A Revolutionary Chrome Extension For Reading Assistance

'ReadingLine' is a Chrome extension designed to optimize your reading experience online. By acting as a 'reading ruler', it accurately tracks your reading line with your mouse cursor. It doesn't collect user data, it does not track users nor send data to any server. It leverages the 'read and change websites' permission only to extract necessary information for the optimal functioning of the tool, ensuring a seamless experience for the user.
