Great tool. We hope the developer read this, and update the "Manifest V2" to Manifest V3 before juni 2024, so we can go on using Clear Read

If I had only an actualization request would be a keyboard shortcut for enabling or disabling it. Nice view.

The app works fine for me, I love to use immersive reading on articles I really want to concentrate on or print out. It gets rid of distracting stuff from the webpage. Remember when you want to use it make sure you have the article up, then click on the app short cut. To get to the settings you have to bring up your extension manager and click on the 3 dots at the end of its title. Some websites will not let you use immersive reading but the majority will. All in all a very good extension, I'm very pleased with it.
