Reader Mode - Comfortable Reading Experience on Chrome

'Reader Mode' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your reading experience online. It converts any webpage into a clutter-free, easy-to-read format by clicking on the glasses icon. In this mode, not only is the page given a black-on-white color scheme to reduce strain on the eyes, but ads and Flash animations are also removed. The reader mode can be toggled on and off, and users can adjust the font size to their preference for ultimate convenience.
