Good clean simple view that uniquely goes left to right vs scrolling down. Good mom and pop extension. Full screen and font adjustment options only. Last update 2013. | |

Finally a reading extension that doesn't waste as much white space. The other extensions clear the left and right sides, but they don't make use of it like Purify does. A couple option ideas: 1) Option for two columns instead of three. Two columns keeps the viewing angle more centered. 2) Right arrow moves you two columns instead of just one. This would work well with the two column option above. In the current state, if you're someone who reads all three visible columns, you might want a right arrow next button to show you three new columns. | |

Давно искал читалку, как в последнем IE. Для широких мониторов самое то! | |

After the use of this text started cutting off making it ruin the purpose of whats its supposed to do. Even attempts of uninstalling and installing this and reloading sites this did not help. | |

no se actualiza desde 2013. No conserva muchas de las fotos que tienen los artículos. | |

One of the few alternatives to Readability (discontinued). I wish there was an option to adjust the number of columns / layout of the page. | |

Compared with Readability and other similar products this one is confusing and not actually much more readable. | |

Very nice way to read articles without the clutter of ads and sidebars. I imagine would be useful on tablets too where every inch counts. | |
