2023-12-10 | GreatLand Media | en | Works fine, but needs to be updated with a context menu option to fit in with the new Chrome configuration. Having extensions collapsed in the toolbar is a plus, except for apps that need regular access but don't provide access via the context menu. Previous note from the author references a context menu option when right clicking on a link, but the author apparently doesn't realize that **MOST PEOPLE** want to transform the page they are on, not a page they have not yet gone to. | |

2022-04-24 | Pat MySecret | This reader is best suited to someone at least somewhat computer savvy with patience. While Tranquility Reader doesn't offer options that I believe should be standard, such as image on/off, it has an attractive typically unfound option. Uniquely, it lets you define, name, and save Presets, that can even be named to favorite sites. Presets offered by default, don't seem well-coordinated to the average computer user, and that's why I don't recommend it to beginners. It does a less than average job of getting past paywalls, and almost seems to mockingly remind you that the site isn't free. Nobody wants to go through life blindly click-baited and mocked. The icon in the Context Menu is a tease because it doesn't open links in Reader View. I keep the extension name in a list in case I want to reinstall if I ever have a particular need for very specialized presets. The extension is appreciated, but likely not the best for the average user. | ||

2022-01-21 | Ossie Best | Just tried a bunch and this is the first one to work (maybe my other extensions were blocking the others). Very nice/fast thank you. | ||

2021-05-11 | Janai Christo | Look it works. All I need is to be able to read it and sometimes copy it. And it serves that purpose. But guys, pay for it if you can. If you only need one article, then you might as well use it. But if you are a regular user, try to pay for it. |
