GUSTAVO PEREIRA NUNES		 pt A extensão é incrível para o propósito dela. Me sinto até empolgado em ler informações que preciso em sites que são bombardeado de informações (anúncios, banners, imagens misturadas com texto).

Pat MySecret		 en Funky imagery/layout. A little slower than most similar types. This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. No options. This reader blurbed things out unexpectedly ..with either an odd arc image, or just info deletion..and it didn't offer me things that I couldn't find elsewhere. Last update 2012

Nicholas		 Great extension! Allows me to use a Greasemonkey script for auto-scrolling on keypress (link to script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/7658-auto-scroll-keys-adopted) for the TestOut website by successfully scrolling through the Read Mode page. Before this extension, the TestOut page did not allow this script to function.
