About
Whether you are reading long-form articles, conducting deep research, studying for exams, or simply trying to wind down before bed, maintaining sustained attention online has never been simpler. Just open the extension, turn on the reader mode, and automatically strip away flashy colors and visual noise to read exactly like you would on a traditional newspaper or e-reader device. Key Features: • Distraction-Free Reading: Eliminate colors in one click to increase focus and make reading text significantly easier. • Advanced Visual Controls: Fine-tune your black and white experience with precise, adjustable sliders for grayscale, contrast, and brightness. • Eye Comfort & Readability: Reduce eye strain and improve overall readability by softening harsh screen glare, creating a highly sleep-friendly e-paper environment for late-night browsing. • Persistent Focus Mode: Dial in your perfect reading settings so your custom contrast levels seamlessly apply as you navigate your browser tab. • Color Palette Generation: Select "View Palette" to immediately place the exact HEX codes of your black and white palette into an editable color scheme. • Smart Swatch Features: Load your swatch on shadesurfer.io in a flash, where you can export it as an image file, grab a shareable link, explore complementary tones, and more. Perfect for deep work, late-night reading, or simply finding a calmer, more focused browsing experience across the web. Turn any page into a crisp, distraction-free electronic paper display with the ShadeSurfer Black & White Reader Mode extension today. Powered by shadesurfer.io
