About
Reading Spotlight helps you read web pages with less visual noise. It keeps the original page in place and adds lightweight reading aids for the active tab. You can highlight the current paragraph, dim surrounding content, show a manual reading ruler, display paragraph-based progress, and adjust content width or line height on article-like pages. The extension is intended for long articles, documentation, blogs, and other text-heavy pages where it is easy to lose your place. It does not convert pages into a separate reader view, summarize content, or send page content to an external service. Key features: - Paragraph Spotlight for focusing on the current reading block - Gentle Dim for feeds and mixed layouts - Manual Reading Ruler and optional ruler highlight - Progress bar based on readable blocks - Typography controls for width and line height - Safe Mode for complex or app-like pages - Site exclusions and local data controls Reading Spotlight runs locally after user activation and does not request broad host permissions.
