A feature-packed, customizable reader extension.

Just Read is a feature-packed and customizable reader view.

With one click (or less!), you can remove distractions like:
- The page's styling
- Ads
- Popups
- Comments

And read the article in a customizable, simplified format - like a read mode but better!

Users can:
- Use the default white and dark themes.
- Modify your theme using a graphical editor or CSS.
- Use a theme someone else has made (found at https://goo.gl/Z59SM4 ).
- Use their very own custom styling.
- Auto-run Just Read format on specific sites.
- Use a keyboard shortcut to run Just Read.
- Print the custom-styled version of the article.
- Use the selection mode to choose exactly which text they want to select for reading.
- Use the deletion mode to remove any unwanted content after selection.
- Edit incorrect meta information generated.
- Control which options Just Read uses.
- Go straight to the next chapter from the Just Read view.

Just Read Premium has even more features!
- Permanently save the Just Read version of pages
- Share the Just Read version of pages with others
- Link directly to a section of the page
- Highlight and annotate pages
- Use a custom scrollbar
- Auto-scroll the article
- Use text gradients to improve readability
- Apply domain-specific selectors

As someone who is autistic and therefore has visual processing issues, this extension is a crucial accessibility tool for me. There are many poorly-designed websites that have so many pictures, videos, and popups that I literally cannot read them without this tool. I also have yet to encounter a website that does not work with this tool. Thank you for developing it!

It can be used by average person, but this extension is primarily for people adept with handling CSS scripts.
Allows auto domain run.. not many readers do. One great thing is that it lends itself to very specific site run for scripts which avoids problems with badly written scripts interfering.
I notice a convenient share button.
Uniquely, is a start/end deletion mode where you can delete the parts that you've read already..
5/1/22 I agree with the author, it is trivial. I just needed to get more adept with scripts. Thank you for your help :-)

Add an ability to hide the original full page content for autoloaded sites list in the read mode, but with a some pause before hiding – some N seconds (add a text field for it in settings).
Because many sites are protected with the cloudflare CDN with 5 sec timeout. Make this pause a variable value because of some other sites can be protected with a different way/timeout
