User reviews
The extension has a good and intuitive interface and it's very simple to use. One suggestion I would like to give is to allow us to quickly estimate the reading time of the current page by clicking on the extension's icon (See here for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkI_joxwfZI). Right now I have to do Ctrl+A > Right click > Estimate read time. Thanks.

The new update is nice, but please allow us to press `Enter` to dismiss the new modal. It was a critical part of my workflow. Thanks for the great extension.

Cons: - Cannot save default reading speed. - Does not gives seconds info, it rounds it up to the nearest minute.
