Review summary

Most reviewers praise the add-on for highly customizable reader mode and editor features, improved readability over Firefox’s built-in viewer, and the ability to export articles as PDFs or print nicely. It’s also valued for accessibility and for giving control to fetch specific content (useful on forums). The frequent criticism centers on changes to the address-bar icon, plus occasional reliability issues on tricky pages.

Allows exporting or saving articles as PDF/print-friendly versions.
Improves readability and accessibility for users with vision problems.
Reliable and preserves full articles, avoiding content stripping seen in some alternatives.
