User Reviews

Pros: simple, direct, and easy to use; generally effective when it works; lightweight with a useful progress/play bar; Spritz-like reading feel; customizable settings that suit different preferences. Cons: reliability varies due to compatibility/outdated updates; cannot highlight or select specific text to read or start from the middle; reads the whole page by default; lacks features like dark themes, color options, and keybindings; some sites/pages aren’t supported. Overall: a solid speed-reading aid for straightforward pages, but compatibility issues and limited selective-reading features limit its usefulness on some sites or workflows.

Some sites/pages aren’t fully supported or cause issues on certain pages.

Don't bother if you're using FF in dark mode. The add-on is only decently usable in bright mode or with - I guess - absolute default design setups. The project's source code also has not been touched for eight(!) years and can be considered dead.

does not work at all (probably because it hasn't been updated in almost 2 years). the ONLY thing it does it make (some) pages get all bugged out when you try to use it.

Is Speed Reading 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.

Speed Reading Mode requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

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.

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