Official Description

From the Developer


A feature-packed and customizable reader view.

With one click (or less!), you can remove distractions like:

  • The page's styling
  • Ads
  • Popups
  • Comments

And read the article in a customizable, simplified format - like a read mode but better!

Users can:

  • Summarize the article using AI.
  • Use the default white and dark themes.
  • Modify their theme using a graphical editor or CSS.
  • Use a theme someone else has made (found at https://goo.gl/Z59SM4 ).
  • Use their very own custom styling.
  • Auto-run the reader format on specific sites.
  • Use a keyboard shortcut to run the reader.
  • Print the custom-styled version of the article.
  • Use the selection mode to choose exactly which text they want to select for reading.
  • Use the deletion mode to remove any unwanted content after selection.
  • Edit incorrect meta information generated.
  • Control which options the reader uses.
  • Go straight to the next chapter from the reader view.

Just Read Premium has even more features!

  • Permanently save the reader version of pages
  • Share the reader version of pages with others
  • Link directly to a section of the page within the shared reader view
  • Highlight and annotate pages
  • Add comments
  • Use a custom scrollbar
  • Auto-scroll the article
  • Apply domain-specific selectors, which give ultimate control to the content auto-selection
