About this extension
view provides a cleaner and more focused way to read online articles.

Reader View

Open supported pages in a distraction-free reading layout focused on the main article content. view attempts to separate the article from navigation, sidebars, advertisements, social elements, related content, and other surrounding page elements.

Listen to articles

Use Listen to article to have the article read aloud using your browser's built-in text-to-speech capabilities. Playback includes play, pause, resume, stop, adjustable reading speed, and reading progress highlighting.

Smart detection

Floating Read button

When enabled or detected, view displays a small Read button directly on the webpage. The button is designed for both desktop and mobile browsing.

Custom websites

Flexible settings

Choose whether content opens in the current tab or a new tab. You can also enable or disable the floating button and automatic detection.
