About this extension

Tranquility Reader

Tranquility Reader is a Firefox extension that improves the readability of web articles.

Tranquility removes unnecessary elements in a webpage, and provides a simple and tranquil reading experience. Similar functionality is available through Readability or iReader or "Reader Mode" in Firefox.

Release notes for 3.0.13

* Fixed problem with TITLE/HEAD elements being removed because their
default css property of display is "none". This causes a problem
when saving a link for offline reading -- saved article shows up
with a blank name

* Fixed logic for replacing using the contents of the ARTICLE tag as
proxy for the entire content of the page. The original solution of
replacing just the parent was not sufficient to remove a lot of other
crud. Now, we replace the entire body of the page with the article
tag contents
