2024-01-14	Firefox user 15275508	It's a definite improvement on Firefox's own reader view, and very customizable. I have some vision problems and this add-on really helps. I also use this to quickly convert articles into pretty looking documents that I can print, or save as PDF for my e-reader.

2023-10-16	Sean	Wonderful options visually, but the text-to-speech is currently broken, at least for me. I was trying to skip ahead to later in a page and it would only play from the beginning. Even waiting it out didn't help because it would read the first few paragraphs and then stop.
