Review summary

Users praise 'Unclutter — Modern Reader Mode' for effectively removing distractions and enhancing reading, even where Firefox's own reader mode fails. Its features like note-taking, highlighting, and open-source development are valued. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as intrusive console logging cluttering developer tools, privacy concerns due to wide permissions, inability to disable automatic note creation on highlights, and desire for toolbar icon customization. Overall, it's regarded as a simple yet powerful and well-supported add-on with minor areas for improvement.

Pros

Effectively declutters webpages by removing ads, sidebars, social media buttons, and other distractions, improving reading experience.
Works even on pages where Firefox's built-in reading mode does not function.
Offers additional features beyond reading mode such as note-taking, highlighting, and integration with hypothes.is and Hacker News.
Open source and actively developed with responsive developer engagement.
Simple, easy to use, and provides a satisfying, elegant reading experience.

Cons

Adds console logging statements like '{nonLeaf}' on every webpage, cluttering developer console which can be frustrating to debug.
Requires 'complete access to all websites' permission causing privacy concerns; users would prefer per-site permissions.
Automatic note-adding on highlight cannot be disabled, which may annoy users who highlight just to keep their reading place.
Lacks an option to customize the toolbar icon color, which some users desire.
