| 2024-12-07 |  | | en | Not bad. It should have a better design and more customization. There should be new updates to use system fonts. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | en | I don't recall downloading this extension... And now it wants me to update it? Suspicious - removed. |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | 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! |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | en | Doesn't work and laden with spyware. |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | en | Spyware contacted a domain that was not allowed by my IT dept |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | es | Una porquería. Ahora abre páginas de impact bro diciendo que es para "reducir emisiones de carbono" automáticamente SIN CONSENTIMIENTO DEL USUARIO |
| 2024-09-24 |  | | en | Garbage spyware. It was good, but they ruined it. |
| 2024-09-23 |  | | en | Scam plugin. Recently updated with a change to commit advertising click fraud via and call it a "carbon emission offset". Definitely creative I'll give them that. |

| 2024-09-05 |  | | en | Works great, but these eco mode pop-ups are irritating. If you're going to have this mode, then when it's activated, people should know that by activating it, they are consenting to annoying pop-ups. I didn't even know this app was the reason for these pop-ups until I finally noticed their name in the URL. Then I had to come to this review page to find out how to disable it.
