Description

Reader View extension brings Mozilla's open-source Readability implantation to Chromium. Using this extension you can strip clutters from webpages and read them on "Reader View" mode. The extension allows you to toggle between normal view and reader view by pressing the page-action button.

Note that reader view mode works best for web pages that have a lot of content. There are some tools in the left side panel that can help you personalize your Reader View. You can change color, background-color, font-size, font-family and width of the reader view.

Features:
-> Remove distraction
-> Read in fullscreen mode
-> Remove advertisements
-> Save in HTML format
-> Print document
-> Read content using a powerful Text to Speech (TTS) engine
-> Edit HTML content (live editor)
-> Email document (with title, body, and reference to the original document)
-> Correctly display mathematical formulas (MathJax equations are Supported)
-> Highlight selected text
-> Move to the next and previous pages
-> Keyboard shortcuts for almost all actions
-> Resize images on the design-mode
-> Display DOI (Digital Object Identifier) details
-> Display publish date

I love this extension. It is awesome, except for one thing that gives me a bit of aggravation, which is that the grey icon for it is by far the most dull of the 10 extensions beside my address bar. Consequently, despite utilizing it the most of my extensions, it is the most difficult to visually scan for and click on. All icons of my other extensions are in lively colors and/or shapes; they stand out and are instantaneously recognizable. I simply wish the dull grey of the Reader View icon were changed to at least a bolder color. That's the only reason for the 4 stars not being 5. Despite that one annoyance, the combined functionality of Reader View and greater editing capabilities than others, makes this extension superior to the 6 or 7 others I've taken a look at.
