Focus Reader Firefox

Focus Reader

By: Michiel Add-on
Stay focused with an on-page highlight or a calm one-item-at-a-time reading view.

Features & Capabilities

Focus Reader helps you follow an HTTPS article one sentence or list item at a time. Keep the original page and choose Soft veil, Reading ruler, Simple marker, Peripheral blur, or Raised sentence, or use Full page for a calm reading view without the source page.

Choose a mode from the toolbar or Firefox Android Extensions menu. Ctrl+Shift+F and the desktop page context menu reopen the last used mode. Move through the article with J and K. Full page also supports the arrow keys, mouse wheel, and swipe, plus a Full text view, theme control, and mode selector for returning to the source page.

Focus Reader works only when you ask it to read the active page. It saves only your chosen mode, on-page style, and strength. Article text, URLs, history, and reading progress are not saved or sent to a server. No account, payment, or external service is needed.

Is Focus Reader Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Focus Reader does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Focus Reader is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
