Rated 4 out of 5
by LostPacket, 7 years agoNice work. I love the ability to adjust the background (and other) colours. It may be useful to clarify that such 'overrides' go into the bottommost sections of the CSS block in options.
I seem to be seeing one bug though. Win7/SP1/x64 FF64. When closing the 'reader view' and going back to normal, it often returns me to the wrong page: not the one I was reading (normally and in reader), but the previous one. It's as if it was occasionally performing the "Go back one page" operation. This happens quite frequently, perhaps 30-50% of the time.
It would also be great if the original scroll position of the page could be preserved (the built-in version does this), but that's relatively minor.
Thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by haystreet, 7 months agoCustomizable reader mode, 'nuff said.
Basically what Firefox used to have before they removed it. - Rated 5 out of 5by wooseok, 10 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by BlohoJo, a year agoNeeded this for Reddit, it didn't work. (Only shows description in reader view and shows no posts.) Might work for other things.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15275508, 2 years agoIt's a definite improvement on Firefox's own reader view, and very customizable.
I have some vision problems and this add-on really helps.
I also use this to quickly convert articles into pretty looking documents that I can print, or save as PDF for my e-reader. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14715505, 2 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Sean, 2 years agoWonderful options visually, but the text-to-speech is currently broken, at least for me.
I was trying to skip ahead to later in a page and it would only play from the beginning. Even waiting it out didn't help because it would read the first few paragraphs and then stop. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jérôme Chantegrave, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lunule, 3 years agoThis is the best readability add-on for Firefox at the moment - it's reliable (doesn't remove the full article LOL, like for instance the Clearly Reader add-on does), its editor funcitonality is top-notch, and the default reader layout is just beautiful and calming.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mylk, 3 years agoThe new update disabled the icon in the address bar, now it's just a simple + icon next to the other addons.
- Rated 3 out of 5by mikamves, 3 years agoIt's better than default reader view, but auto switching is very buggy and on most pages doesn't work. I go back to default reader and Automatic Reader View add-on.
