Read with Instapaper Firefox

Read with Instapaper

Read Now with Instapaper to remove ads and distractions from web pages and focus on your reading; or Read Later to put away tabs and web pages for when you’ve got the time for reading.

Features & Capabilities

Read with Instapaper is a powerful Chrome extension designed to improve your web reading experience. It offers the ability to read now by removing ads and distractions from web pages or read later by saving tabs and web pages to your Instapaper reading list. With features like saving an active tab, quickly putting tabs aside, and instant access to your reading list, this extension streamlines your reading workflow.

The extension supports intuitive keyboard modifiers for tailored reading actions, such as opening Instapaper views without saving or forcing reading lists in new tabs. Unlike the official Instapaper extension, which only saves pages and can slow down web performance due to extra JavaScript, Read with Instapaper operates efficiently without affecting page load times unless you choose to read with Instapaper. A free Instapaper.com account is required to use the extension.

Is Read with Instapaper Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
