Not bad. It should have a better design and more customization. There should be new updates to use system fonts.

I don't recall downloading this extension... And now it wants me to update it? Suspicious - removed.

This is quite possibly the best extension I've installed in any browser! Today there is so much visual garbage and noise on so many pages that they are unreadable to me. Reader Mode takes care of that brilliantly!
