2023-06-09 Jay Works as advertised, dev seems to be updating still. I wish I could select what it would display, however it works very well and I hope to see it improve.

2022-01-19 Daniel Scheufler Simple, Direct, and works as advertised. Sure the usability could be improved, but it served exactly the purpose I was looking for. Help me consume a long document more effectively with a Spritz like interface.

2021-07-07 Firefox user 16927675 It is a good extension and serves it's function as a speed reader. You can also mess around with settings how ever you like and to your likings. However, the fact that you can't highlight what you want to read really puts this addon at a really disadvantegous place. Instead of reading where you want, it will make you read the whole page. For example, if you want to read a Reddit comment, it will start from the subreddit desc, the top comments, and then the thing you actually want to read. TL;DR - Serves its purpose, have good customization settings. You can't read a specific part of a page because you can't select what you want to read. It will load the whole page instead.

2021-04-07 Firefox user 14618453 On a quick spin, it seems like a really handy and simple plugin. The only beef I have with it, is that it can only start reading the text from the beginning and not midway (doesn't support showing only selected text)
