Zenith Reader Firefox

Zenith Reader

Immersive, distraction-free reading with bionic text, themes, smart annotations, auto-scroll, and a private local AI summary bridge.

Features & Capabilities

Zenith Reader transforms any article into a clean, focused reading experience — no clutter, no ads, no distractions.

Features

🧹 Clean View Intelligent DOM purification scores and extracts the main article content, hiding navbars, sidebars, ads, and everything else automatically.

🎨 Four Themes Switch instantly between Light, Dark, Sepia, and Nord themes. Font size, line height, and typeface are all adjustable.

👁 Bionic Reading Bolds the first letters of every word to guide your eyes and increase reading speed — toggle on or off anytime.

🎯 Semantic Media Filter A built-in heuristic engine distinguishes contextual images from decorative ads and tracking pixels, removing the noise automatically.

📝 Smart Annotations Highlight any text and it's saved locally to your browser. Highlights persist across sessions — even if you restart Firefox.

⬇ Auto-Scroll Flow Hold the spacebar for 600ms to engage smooth, variable-speed auto-scroll. Hands-free reading at your pace.

📊 Reading Progress A live progress bar shows how far through the article you are, with a dynamic "X minutes remaining" estimate based on your scroll speed.

∑ Private AI Summary Connect to a local LLM (Ollama, llama.cpp) running on your own machine. Get instant article summaries — no data ever leaves your device.

🛡 Hard Focus Mode Locks you into your reading tab for a set duration. Tab switching is blocked so you can read without interruption.

💾 Offline Snapshot Save any cleaned article as a self-contained HTML file for offline reading — no internet required.

Is Zenith Reader 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.

Zenith Reader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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