Readhook Reading

Your eyes can "skip" over the words and text with Readhook. Like a surfboard that only glides on the waves' crests. Readhook is a new way for making reading easier by using artificial fixation points to guide the gaze through text.

Your eyes can "skip" over the words and text with Readhook. Like a surfboard that only glides on the waves' crests. Readhook is a new way for making reading easier by using artificial fixation points to guide the gaze through text. As a result, the reader's attention is drawn solely to the highlighted starting letters, leaving the word to be completed by the brain center. Readhook attempts to foster more in-depth reading and understanding of written content in a digital environment dominated by shallow kinds of reading.

Any website can benefit from the plugin. Readhook is still accessible as a beta version for now. If you enjoy the plugin, a 5-star rating would be very appreciated. Thank you for your support, and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Readhook Reading requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • Critical ****** ****** ** ******* ***** ***** *** ** **** ** ***** **** ******** ****** *** ******** ********** * ******* ********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Readhook Reading has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
