About
Are you tired of clicking news articles and waiting while ads, videos, and auto-playing content load? LiteNews automatically redirects you to the text-only versions of news articles if they are available. If you have a low-bandwidth connection, need the text-only versions for accessibility, or just want your news to load faster, give it a try! You can always disable redirection by using the extension's popup toggle. LiteNews currently supports: -CNN -NPR -Daily Mail -The Christian Science Monitor -CBC
