Adds a toolbar button that acts just like the built-in reader mode.

If parsing fails for some reason, it's not my fault but Mozilla's, because I am using the same parsing engine (found here) as Firefox.

User reviews

1. It removed all content from a page. (The same page shows up well in standard Firefox Reader View). 2. It doesn't apply Firefox theme (such as Dark theme).

Downvoted for claiming to be "better" but being essentially the same basic feature-poor reader with slightly different appearance. No justify, no hyphenation.
