2023-02-01 Ian Channing Has some lovely touches where I can specify my own font so I can get reader mode with AMS "Latin Modern Roman" so that what ever page I want to read in depth looks like LaTeX. Simple mode is also great without any of the buttons.
2023-01-16 JGD Extension épatante et auteur très réactif. J'apprécie particulièrement l'édition et la copie en HTML, légère et facilement transmettable.

2022-08-21 Firefox user 14298872 Very helpful extension. I like very much the possibility to edit the simplified pages and save them as plain HTML pages.
2022-07-12 Nicole Ahmed This addon works by enable forcing of reader view where firefox does not automatically give the options (i.e. the button at the end of the address bar is not available). The reader view is what is natively provided by firefox but this addon lets you use the native view with all sites. The forced reader view is working well on the sites where it was not allowed so I'm happy!
2022-07-07 jalanb It bypasses all paywalls at most sites (except The Times). From a search result just click to the text. No ads, headers, suggestions. Just the text

2022-01-25 Einsy Pyde Super extension ! Elle fonctionne très bien, facilite grandement la lecture d'un article. On peut régler la taille de la police, changer la couleur du fond (perso j'aime bien le sepia) et en plus, on peu écouter ce qui est écrit... Le top ! Merci Richard Neomy Great expansion! It works very well, greatly facilitates the reading of an article. You can adjust the font size, change the background color (personally I like sepia) and in addition, you can listen to what is written... The best! Thank you Richard Neomy
