I can’t believe how much more enjoyable reading is now that I’ve installed Readlax. No more annoying sidebars or pop-up ads, just clean text and images. This extension is a must for anyone who reads a lot online. I can’t imagine browsing without it!

Readlax is exactly what I needed. With all the ads and sidebars gone, I can actually concentrate on reading. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in how fast I can read and how much more I can retain. So happy I found this!
