Strips away clutter like buttons, background images, and changes the page's text size, contrast and layout for better readability

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
-> Add persistent sticky notes
-> Bionic Reading
-> Adjust number of columns

This is a GREAT reader viewer with extensive capabilities!
The option that impresses me right off is that you can edit the view! Excellent!
I like the view layout better than anything I get with other viewers.
I also keep a Reader Viewer that has an option to open automatically.. that one is my default.
I also notice that this extension doesn't "play nice" with my word filter and copier extension the way the other Reader Viewer does, but I am still VERY fond.

Just great.
Highlighting, editing, note taking, saving.
Everything you need for reading in a browser.
Perfect in every way.
Thanks for such a great extension.

Great for all you can customize and for the simplicity of it all, however, it lacks a way to easily export your highlights -- a Json file in a separate page is too bothersome
