This is one of the best speed reader for me, and their implementation is so good that I requested some of the leading ebook reading apps to copy this feature. I installed this extension to all my devices.

This is the best free speed reader I have ever found. Just install and let it work!

This is completely useless. It does nothing. I'm trying to read on the CompTIA CertMaster Learn site and when I click read it shows what I think is a table of contents for the class. It does not highlight the words on the page and pace my reading. This is such a disappointment.
