  description

  LinkFlags adds smart insights beside links directly in Google Search results, helping you decide what to open before clicking.
  
  No more guessing whether a page is a quick skim, a deep 15-minute read, packed with visuals or code, or hidden behind a paywall.
  
  Features
  • Shows read time next to search results
  • Detects potential paywalled pages before you open them
  • Highlights image-heavy pages (great for visual guides & tutorials)
  • Detects code-heavy pages (perfect for developers & technical docs)
  • Personalized estimates based on your own reading speed
  • Quick popup settings to adjust WPM (Words Per Minute - Reading Speed)
  • Clean, lightweight, fast interface
  • Helps save time while researching or browsing
  
  Why it matters
  Not all pages are the same.
  Some are:
  • 📄 Text-heavy deep dives
  • 🖼️ Visual tutorials
  • 💻 Code/documentation pages
  • 🔒 Subscriber-only or restricted articles
  
  LinkLens helps you understand the type of content before clicking, so you can choose what fits your time and intent.
  
  Perfect for
  • Students doing research
  • Busy professionals
  • Casual readers
  • Productivity-focused users
  • Developers browsing documentation
  • Anyone who values their time
