Summary

Analyze keywords

Reader View extension removes clutter from web pages to enhance their readability. The extension uses Mozilla's Readability library as the engine to provide similar experience from what you get if you are on the Firefox browser. After installation, a button is added to your Chrome toolbar area or Opera's address bar.

Pressing this button once opens the current page in the "Reader View" mode. You will notice the button's color will be changed to orange while you are in the reader view mode.

Clicking on this orange button or pressing the back button of your browser closes the "Reader View" mode and restores the normal rendering mode. Since the extension uses history API, the page scroll position and the entire session is restored when "Reader View" mode is terminated.

★ Main Features of Reader View

Muy bueno lo recomiendo. Mi mejora seria que la barra de opciones sea menos invasiva (más pequeña? y que se inserten más colores de fondo y tipos de letra. Éxitos.
