Summary

This plugin makes family scripture reading on a computer easier. It's especially handy if you have a PC connected to a large TV in your family room; no more scrambling to find everyone a copy of the scriptures and open them to the right page. Instead just install this plugin and point Chrome to www.lds.org/scriptures. The plugin adds the following functionality:

  • Gets rid of unnecessary navigation and chrome
  • Allows highlighting and scrolling to each verse by simply using up/down arrow buttons
  • For younger children who are still learning to read, you can highlight word-by-word using right/left buttons
  • Keeps track of the most recent reading positions (bookmarks) automatically, showing a list at the main page (www.lds.org/scriptures). If you reach that page via a bookmark or typing it into the address bar, the most recent position will automatically be selected and redirected to.
  • Increases text size for easier reading at a distance (can still be adjusted further by using zoom controls in Chrome)
User reviews
I left a one star review because I thought it wasn't working. The icon appears in chrome, but it always appears grayed out, so I thought it wasn't working. However, it does work when you go to the website. It removes all the formatting you don't need and lets you zoom bigger, etc. It's exactly what I was looking for. Adding an on-off toggle to the icon and making sure that it lights up when it's being used would make this a 5 star extension. Nice work.
