CleanRead Pro - Advanced Reader Mode

About

CleanRead Pro is the most powerful reader mode extension for Chrome — turning any cluttered webpage into a clean, distraction-free reading experience in a single click.

Unlike the basic reader view buried in your browser menu, CleanRead Pro gives you full control: custom fonts, dark mode, text-to-speech, bionic reading, and article highlights — all without leaving your tab.

Powered by Mozilla's Readability.js — the same engine behind Firefox Reader View — it intelligently strips ads, popups, sidebars, cookie banners, and autoplay videos from any article or blog post.
