User reviews

This is a very polished tool. It's hands down one of the best reader modes , putting things in a clear and readable view , with good font choices, dark mode, allowing basic annotation , and having sync to back up the annotations. It can also work as simple "read it later" solution with its "unfinished" queue , as long as it's only a handful of articles , as this isn't Readwise. Any more and that would make management a messy heap of undifferentiable thumbnails. Other than that , this extension serves its purposes very well.

Really lovely. Feels like a fellow friend making an app for other friends. One wish: the option to turn off the auto highlight when selecting text. I'm one of those that highlights as I read to keep track of where I am on the page. EDIT: The developer already coded it in. What a boss.
