Reviews of reader view:
Your average Reader View extension. Simplistic, yet effective. Side pop-ups weren't going down easily.. I don't know if that's a momentary thing.
i dont understand how to change the color of the screen. there is no settings option and when i try to click the extension from my toolbar it just toggles it on and off. dont claim to have dark modes if theyre not easily accessible :/
