EasyRead

About

This is a Chrome / Edge extension that creates a smooth web browsing experience for you, providing but not limited to: core functions such as reading later, adding notes, and auto-recording.

https://github.com/volnet/chrome-extensions-easyread/

We recommend this reading process:

1. Easily read any web page, as usual, without any interruptions.
2. When you see something worth recording, select it and **Add to note**.
3. When you have a lot of materials, click **Read Later** to turn them into to-do items, and then read them slowly.
4. When you open a webpage that you have already visited, it will automatically restore you to the **last visited location**.
5. In order to consolidate knowledge, we recommend that you regularly perform data management, export and delete historical data, and use third-party tools to organize your access history and notes.
6. The next reading does not start randomly from anywhere on the Internet, but from **EasyRead**'s **Read Later** list.

For a better user experience:

We recommend you keep the EasyRead extension always displayed in the toolbar, you will get **read it later** quantity reminders and **fewer steps**.

1. After the extension is installed, it is not displayed in the toolbar by default.
2. To adjust the extension to always appear in the toolbar, please try the following steps:
     - Google Chrome: Extensions icon > EasyRead > "Pin" (pin icon).
     - Microsoft Edge: Alt+F > Extensions > EasyRead > "Show in toolbar" (visual icon).
