| 2023-01-02 |  | | 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. | |
