This does a sort of click-and-choose filtering vs automatic full page of most Reader Viewers. That might have extra appeal to some people. Limited in options.. no image on/off

I just installed it, and after clicking the extensions icon it instantly cleared up all the distractions on the site I was trying to read. Much appreciated. Thanks a mil. It'll become part of my essential extensions.
