https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/read-time-estimator/dbkmhaamlapkjabaieclhlofhnaoccmb is better, cause you can select specific text and get a read time estimation for that.

could you please plz plz port this for firefox? I can't live without this extension; 'till I can find a firefox equivalent, I'll have to keep chrome on my system. I use blipread btw.

I've tested many reading time estimator extensions and this one is the best. It's non-intrusive since it doesn't sit on top of the website you're viewing like many do. And it's quick -- I don't have to highlight specific text and then click through to find the reading time.
