great when the page you are trying to read is infested with ads that make it almost unreadable

We use this all the time to print pages with too many graphics and fillers.
Very useful!

I loaded a website that had soft blue text on mid blue background. Not a great choice but I really wanted to read it. So I hunted for a readability extension (after checking Brave settings) and came across Just Read with good reviews.
I installed it quickly (as most extensions) went back to the webpage and clicked the extension button and - presto! - black text on white background, with minimal but necessary formatting.
As an ex-web developer, I am impressed.
