| 2024-10-26 |  | | en | I just found Readers View Extension about 20 minutes ago and I'm already in love. I've always wanted to be able to interact with a webpage "live" and do more than just read. All the features I ever wished for are included. This is fantastic. Thanks for creating this. |

| 2024-10-24 |  | | en | Out of the box this better than any web browser "Reader" that I've ever used. The option to have simple view and customize some of the text to bold or underline, etc., and then save it as a HTML Doc is great! This rread is great for simple screenshotting of the page content as well (which I do for sharing Christian devotionals). But also in the more customizations available it seems pretty awesome for more advanced customizations, and for developers for viewing local files (I noticed). So I give 5 stars for me in general, and that others might come upon the other customization options, and can star based on their expierence. |

| 2024-10-23 |  | | en | Really, It's the best extension for reading. |
| 2024-10-21 |  | | en | This extension is fantastic — clean, quick, very functional, and very customizable. Loaded with nice features. I use it to switch all my articles to Dark Mode, and since it lets you customize the text side and formatting, it now sets any article to my exact preferences with one click. No more autoplaying videos or other distractions. The "read aloud" option is a little robotic but still better than the native Mac reader, and only takes one click to activate. It also shows you each sentence it's reading as it goes, so it's easy to follow along. I've paid for Pocket premium and their read aloud feature doesn't even do that. |
