**ENGLISH**
Of all the "Reader Mode" extensions I'm testing, this is one of the best, starting from the point that it's completely in Chinese and I had to use a translator to find out what was what...
It's a pity that it doesn't have a language selection, to be able to configure it to your own taste, as this is one of the main reasons for choosing an extension of this type. Not only that it shows it in "Reader Mode" but also adapted to your tastes and preferences...
The little I've been able to configure using the translator, looks very good.
Hopefully they will be encouraged to add more languages apart from the original Chinese.

De todas las extensiones que estoy probando de "Modo Lectura", esta es una de las mejores, partiendo del punto de que está totalmente en Chino y he tenido que ir tirando de traductor para saber qué era cada cosa...
Es una pena que no tenga selección de Idiomas, para poder configurar bien al gusto de uno mismo, ya que ahí radica uno de los principales motivos a la hora de elegir una extensión de este tipo. No solo que te lo muestre en "modo lectura" si no también adaptado a tus gustos y preferencias...
Lo poco que he podido configurar haciendo uso del traductor, pintaba muy bien.
Ojalá se animen a agregarle más idiomas a parte del Chino original.
