User Reviews

Simple and works great. For articles with a show all button, you can activate the extension after clicking show all and it works. Only thing missing is a settings page, there is no settings button, no way to customise on mobile at least, and no way to pin it to the toolbar on Firefox Android. This means I need to open the article, tap options > extensions > ream which is a lot of tapping to enter reader mode. That's a shame, as otherwise it works beautifully! Still 5 stars as it's better and more versatile than the default Firefox reader mode.

Excellent with many options for appearance. Glad I found this.

The only thing missing is the ability to create website list for automatic reader mode switch

Is Ream - Reader Mode Safe?

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.

Ream - Reader Mode does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low Allows usage of omnibox input, negligible risk as it pertains largely to user input enhancements.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Ream - Reader Mode has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
