Blaze Read: Where Information Meets Velocity

Blaze Read is a speed-reading extension for Firefox and Firefox for Android that uses RSVP (rapid serial visual presentation) to help you read 2–3× faster. It works with webpage text and local or online PDFs, and it surfaces words one at a time for focused, distraction-free reading.

Fine-tune reading speed, fonts, colors, and reader size, or enable Focus Mode to blur the background and lock in concentration. Activate instantly with Alt+W, a right-click, or by selecting text. Blaze Read also includes a simple dashboard to track words read and other progress metrics, making it easy to monitor improvement. Powerful, customizable, and polished — Blaze Read helps you read smarter across desktop and mobile Firefox.

Really great addon! It's virtually perfect, but I would love if there was a button on the reader to let it stay open even if you click outside the reader. And an option to highlight the current word on a webpage would make it easier to follow along to sections in the reader that require context from the actual webpage. There's also a bug with super long "words", there doesn't seem to be a set limit on how big the reader window can get so if a word is long enough it can cause the window to extend horizontally across the entire screen. That also causes the controls to extend outside of the screen so you can't fullscreen the reader.

Is Blaze Read 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.

Blaze Read requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. 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.

Blaze Read is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
