  ★★★ MASTER JAPANESE READING WITH YOMIKATA FURIGANA ★★★
  
  Struggling with complex Kanji while browsing the web? Yomikata Furigana is a lightweight, smart extension designed to help Japanese learners read any website with confidence. Whether you are a beginner learning Hiragana or an advanced student tackling technical articles, our tool provides an instant phonetic guide tailored to your needs.
  
  🚀 WHY YOU SHOULD INSTALL YOMIKATA FURIGANA:
  
  ● INSTANT PHONETIC SUPPORT
  Instantly add Furigana (Hiragana, Katakana, or Romaji) to any Japanese webpage with a single toggle.
  
  ● ACTIVE LEARNING WITH HOVER MODE
  Avoid "over-reliance" on Furigana. Enable "Hover Only" mode to see readings only when you move your mouse over a specific Kanji—perfect for testing your memory.
  
  ● CLEAN COPY-PASTE (UNIQUE FEATURE)
  Our unique "Unselectable" feature ensures that when you copy Japanese text, only the original Kanji/Kana is copied, excluding the Furigana clutter. Ideal for creating study notes or using translators.
  
  ● FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
  Adjust the Furigana size (em), choose color themes, and toggle highlight effects to match your browsing comfort.
  
  ● EFFICIENCY FIRST
  Designed to be fast and lightweight, with an option to keep the extension enabled across different page loads or auto-turn off to save resources.
  
  📖 RECOMMENDED STUDY PRESETS:
  
  1. 🎓 INTENSIVE STUDY: (Whole Page Mode + Hiragana). Immerse yourself in reading without the friction of looking up every Kanji.
  
  2. 🧠 KANJI CHALLENGE: (Hover Only Mode + Hover Highlight). Read naturally and only check the "Yomikata" (reading) when you get stuck.
  
  3. 🚀 QUICK BROWSE: Use custom size settings (e.g., 0.60em) to keep the page layout as close to the original as possible.
  
  🛠 HOW TO USE:
  
  1. Open any Japanese webpage.
  2. Open the extension popup and switch "Enable Furigana" to ON.
  3. Choose your preferred mode: Hiragana, Katakana, or Romaji.
  4. (Optional) Explore "Advanced settings" to enable Hover mode or the Unselectable text feature.
