Reader Mode strips out ads, sidebars and clutter, and gives you a clean article view with themes, adjustable width, and one-click PDF export.
Six controls, all in one toolbar — no settings menu to dig through.
Tap the eye icon and the toolbar tucks away into a small floating button — nothing between you and the page.
Save any cleaned-up article as a PDF straight from the toolbar — no extra apps, no copy-pasting.
Narrow the column for a comfortable line length, or widen it — two clicks, saved for next time.
Fine-tune text size and spacing until the page feels like it was made for you.
Switch to a heavier weight for pages with thin, low-contrast type.
Switch instantly between three built-in themes — easier on the eyes at night, sepia for long reads.
No ads, no sidebars, no clutter — just the article.
Add Reader Mode from the Extension Store — free, no account needed.
The page strips down to just the text, images, and headings — instantly.
Pick a theme, adjust the width and font, then read — or save it as a PDF for later.
Your first 10 articles are free — no card required. After that, unlock lifetime access for a single payment.
Offer available to new users. Already using Reader Mode? Nothing changes for you.
Reader Mode works on most article and blog-style pages. It extracts the main content — headline, body text and images — and leaves out navigation, ads and sidebars.

New users get their first 10 articles free, with full access to every feature — no account or card needed. After that, a one-time $4.99 payment unlocks lifetime access.
No. This offer applies to new installs going forward. If you installed Reader Mode before this change, nothing changes for you.
Yes — the download icon in the toolbar opens your browser's native print dialog with the cleaned-up article pre-loaded; choose "Save as PDF" as the destination.
Yes. It's a single lifetime purchase — no subscription, no recurring charges, and it includes all future updates.
