Reviews of just read:
This extension shouldn't be needed, but most online publications continue to present their articles as black text on a white background. Tough on the eyes if you spend too much time reading the news as I do. I've set up Just Read to present everything as light gray text on a very dark gray background (still not black and white), which saves my vision.
While this extension isn't the MOST user friendly for those who are not familiar with how to navigate GitHub for a FAQ response, it is still easily worth it, even if it were to take some time for some users to figure out the basic macros, either in the extension manager or through the aforementioned site. PRO TIP: If you do get this extension for a Chrome browser, after installing it, merely navigate to this URL - "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" (just copy-paste and hit "enter"; also, it's the basic Chrome Extension setup URL, so do not be afraid to navigate to it), and it will show you the default macro interactions, which can be changed, by clicking the little pencil/pen icon to the right of the given macro, and then you're all set! Even the more stubborn sites that you wish to view-- especially if you wish to view them in a basic, uncluttered format-- are easily converted into a plain, clear set of copy that is customizable by theme and easy on the eyes. I love this extension so much that I actually shelled out for the "Premium" version, merely to support the creators for their excellent work. I will say, however, that my Premium Dashboard has yet to sync with my extension history, though this could be the result of a set of conflicting extensions that I have installed (I have many... ). Keep up the great work, Zach!
