Readability based Reader View by tlintspr

Rated 4 out of 5
by LostPacket, 6 years agoNice work. I love the ability to adjust the background (and other) colours. It may be useful to clarify that such 'overrides' go into the bottommost sections of the CSS block in options.
I seem to be seeing one bug though. Win7/SP1/x64 FF64. When closing the 'reader view' and going back to normal, it often returns me to the wrong page: not the one I was reading (normally and in reader), but the previous one. It's as if it was occasionally performing the "Go back one page" operation. This happens quite frequently, perhaps 30-50% of the time.
It would also be great if the original scroll position of the page could be preserved (the built-in version does this), but that's relatively minor.
Thank you!

- Rated 2 out of 5by BlohoJo, 3 months agoNeeded this for Reddit, it didn't work. (Only shows description in reader view and shows no posts.) Might work for other things.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15275508, a year agoIt'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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14715505, a year ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Sean, a year agoWonderful 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jérôme Chantegrave, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lunule, 2 years agoThis is the best readability add-on for Firefox at the moment - it's reliable (doesn't remove the full article LOL, like for instance the Clearly Reader add-on does), its editor funcitonality is top-notch, and the default reader layout is just beautiful and calming.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mylk, 2 years agoThe new update disabled the icon in the address bar, now it's just a simple + icon next to the other addons.
- Rated 3 out of 5by mikamves, 2 years agoIt's better than default reader view, but auto switching is very buggy and on most pages doesn't work. I go back to default reader and Automatic Reader View add-on.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Szmiiit, 2 years agoI was searching for alternatives to default Reader Mode of Firefox browser because on forum Sufficient Velocity it works in a really wonky way making it completely unusable. There is some weird interaction with "Threadmark" function of Sufficient Velocity forum that causes (Default) Reader Mode to fetch text from always the wrong post (either last or the next one).
This addon solves that problem thanks to option to manually direct the source of fetched data through highlighting the correct post bypassing the weird interactions. Exactly what I was looking for! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6767172, 2 years ago
