Features & Capabilities

Zen Mode turns cluttered webpages into a clean, customizable reading experience designed to help you focus on the content that matters.

Open an article and activate Zen Mode to remove distracting navigation, sidebars, ads, popups, and other page clutter. Read in a clean full-page view or use Split View to keep the original webpage and distraction-free article visible side by side.

Reader Mode • Clean, distraction-free article extraction • Full-page reading by default • Resizable Split View with the original webpage • Independent scrolling in Split View • Preserves the important structure of articles

Read Aloud • Listen to articles using your browser/device's available voices • Play and pause narration at any time • Skip forward or backward through reading sections • Follow along with highlighting of the currently spoken text • Adjustable reading speed and voice selection

Customize your reading experience • Light, Dark and Sepia themes • Multiple reader-friendly font choices • Increase or decrease text size • Adjustable line height • Adjustable reading width • Settings are remembered for future reading sessions

Images & Links — Your Choice

Zen Mode starts with a minimal reading experience, but you can choose to display article images and links whenever you need them. Images and links can be controlled independently from Settings.

Privacy-first

Zen Mode does not require an account and does not collect, sell, or transmit your personal data. Article processing happens locally in your browser, and your reading preferences are stored locally on your device.

Whether you're reading news, research, documentation, essays, Wikipedia articles, blog posts, or long-form content, Zen Mode gives you a calmer and more flexible way to read on Firefox.

Less clutter. More reading.

Is Zen 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.

Zen Mode requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.

Zen Mode may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
