Reader Mode

Many sites on the Internet have too many ads, unnecessary images or links inserted between paragraphs, and lots of other elements that might draw your attention away from the article that you are reading. Reader Mode, an extension for Chrome, is an excellent distraction-free reader. The most exciting part, however, is that it also comes with support for people with dyslexia, thanks to some well-designed features.

Reader Mode is personalizable, permitting users to change the CSS and the theme of the add-on to increase the readability of the text on the screen. While changing the CSS is a job for users who know what they're doing, anyone can personalize the theme. To do it, click on the extension's icon when you're on a site, reading an article, and the add-on will automatically add the distraction-free text in a new tab. There you'll see a set of six icons in the top-right corner. One of them accesses the Settings menu. Once there, you can customize the theme. You can change the font and its size, as well as the background, text, and link colors.

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that makes it challenging to read. Thus, people with this condition have difficulties in learning and focusing on various tasks. This Chrome extension brings an excellent feature to help those who have this disorder. The Dyslexia Ruler function adds a colored band from one side of the screen to the other so that people with dyslexia can highlight the line they're on. That helps them focus better on the text and read much more comfortably. Reader More also features a text-to-speech function that can prove helpful on many occasions.

With so many features, from a distraction-free reader to dyslexia support and text-to-speech, Reader More is an excellent extension. It could change browsing experience for many users, especially for people with dyslexia and other learning disorders as well.
