User Reviews

User reviews indicate the add-on is generally usable and easy to use, with positive feedback on its clean UI and overall performance. However, multiple users report TTS issues, auto-logout/relogin problems, weak support, and notable Firefox compatibility problems. Paywall restrictions and tough subscription cancellation add further frustration. The core experience is solid, but Firefox-specific issues and pricing/support annoyances are the most frequently mentioned pain points.

Pros

Generally reliable with a positive user experience and easy-to-use interface.
Simple and clean UI that feels approachable.
Translation feature helps non-English users.

Cons

Text-to-speech is unreliable or non-functional for some users.
Auto-logout on refresh and frequent re-login, with unresponsive support.
Poor Firefox compatibility; outdated Firefox version and some features don’t work.
Paywall gating of basic features and difficult subscription cancellation.

Is Clearly Reader 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.

Clearly Reader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

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