This even works for those long PDF publications from prestigious universities you don't want to read.
Additionally, for you Redditers out there - good news! Long comments are automatically summarised, with any "tl;dr" placed at the *top* of the comment, along with the automatically-generated summary.
New Features:
- Automatic Imperial-to-metric converter for lengths and weights - across all sites!

Reviews of summarizer:
Even after i clicked a right click on the selected text and select summarize option, nothing happened. if anyone can advice on this, please.
Well, it does a number of things that sound good.. like let you control the percent of summarization.. thing is, it seems to ignore the numbers. Nonetheless, it probably gives you a more adaptable means of summarizing than most extensions. You can (have to) pick and choose what you want summarized vs entire article summarization.
it's good, but imo oversummarizes. also, if you're unsure on how to use it, highlight the text you want summarized and right click. you should see an option that says summarize selected. once you click it, your summarized text should pop up in a yellow box above the text.
