Reviews of read easy:
Exactly what I was looking for. I love listening to web novels and I hated to have to click "next chapter" and restart the extension that reads it aloud. With this extension I just press N to go to next chapter and press S to start reading again. If the extension could automatically go to the next chapter and start reading it would be a dream.
Writing to just get the ball rolling. Me being the developer this review will be heavily biased. I am an avid reader and I had tried tons of applications and extensions which help me read massive articles online. I somehow always found them lacking in one way or another. And thus, came in Read Easy. Developed for me by me with all the features which I always wanted while reading online. And honestly, I think I have achieved what I set out to do. I have tested it mostly on royalroad.com and wanderinginn.com, and it seems to work like a charm. Also, I just love the dark theme. Its the best.
