Reeder – a minimal and open source reader extension for Google Chrome
UPDATE: Now fade stop words to skim through articles faster. Skip the stop words while you read through articles, read less and absorb more information.
Read any article in a distraction free mode with a clean layout. Just one click to open the reading view on top of any website.
Quickly toggle theme between white, yellow and dark theme. To improve reading experience you can easily adjust font size and line height based on your liking.
SPEED READING
Toggle speed reading mode for faster reading. To know more how it work and how you can speed read, check out this speed reading video from Tim Ferriss : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwEquW_Yij0

I’ve tried a bunch of famous extensions so far, non of them can give me the simplicity and useful functions like this one do
Elegant and simple, just how it’s supposed to be! Also includes simple controls for changing background/text color and text size.
Thank you mate for making such an amazing open source extension. You rock 😎
I love how minimal it is. It doesn’t remove the url when you enter reading mode and the layout is elegant as well.
In right to left languages, the menus are cluttered
The best reading tool ever! It magically speeds up my reading pace and makes everything so easy to read with just enough amount of functions. Hope it can be built on or worked with other devices and apps too.
I agree with others that simplicity is good, but maybe a few more font would be better. This kind of speed reading feature is wanted out there, it shouldn’t be limited by a lack of customizability!
Well done, thank you. One small suggestion to make it better. Please make the background of your dark mode black rather than murky gray.
Great
パーフェクト！公開してくれてありがとうございます。
大抵のリーダービューアプリは他のアプリとの併用ができないのですが、こちらのアプリでは完全に動きます。
Nice extension, the resulting pages look good! Two bugs:
1) after the extension brings up the optimized view of the current page, I also have to click on the page to focus the Reeader view – if I don’t do that, I can’t use the space bar or PgUp/down keys to navigate on the page. A similar extension that I’ve tried in the past didn’t need that extra click, please change this.
2) when an article like https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/12/inside-evil-corp-a-100m-cybercrime-menace/ contains emoticons (🙂), they are being displayed WAY too big by Reeader.
Please implement choose column width, text/background color functionality.
Also I like compatibility with translation extensions!
Simple extension that I need.
It will be perfect if you allow user to customize their own font color and background color.
Looking forward to your update.
Love it
Love that it requires no permissions.
