Based on this script:

This reading ruler will aid you on reading texts on the internet
It will place a semi-transparent line on your screen, just hit the combination ctrl + r on windows and mac (not the command button but the control button) to activate the ruler, hit the same configuration to remove the ruler

This idea come from the reddit user /u/VectorLightning
