## Description

simplePage is a Firefox add-on that enhances the readability of text pages by providing a narrower, centered viewing experience. It offers a simple and minimal alternative to reader mode, with no changes to images or formulae. The add-on adds a button to the address bar for easy access, and it stores its viewing mode activation status in a cookie. You can also read the source code on GitLab for added assurance.
