  • Latest version

    Version 1.7

    Released Sep 28, 2026 - 35.96 KB
    Works with firefox 109.0 and later
    • Read whole articles. With nothing selected, the reader now picks out the page's main article and reads that, skipping menus, sidebars and ads (#14).
    • Selections inside iframes can now be read from the context menu.
    • Screen stays on while reading. The reader keeps your screen from dimming or locking while it's running (#16, thanks @bobrippling).
    • The reader no longer breaks the page's own scripts (#17, thanks @sheldoncork).
    • Buttons in the page's own pop-ups no longer stop working after using the reader (#15).
    • Line breaks with punctuation now respect the punctuation delay setting (#8).
    • Opening the reader again while it's already open no longer leaves an overlay you can't close.
    • Pausing and resuming quickly no longer makes the reader skip words.
    • Keys are only captured while the reader is open, and only its own: typing in the page, or shortcuts using Ctrl/Alt/Cmd, are left alone.
    • The page's styles can no longer change how the reader looks or cover it.
    • The highlighted middle letter is correct for words with accents and other non-English letters.
    • The remaining time no longer shows "0:60".
    • The reader no longer jumps in height before the first word appears.
    • The settings page layout no longer has huge inputs with the preview drawn over them in Firefox.
    • The "Full screen" option now saves, and "Reset to defaults" works.
    • Invalid values (e.g. empty fields or a speed of 0) fall back to sensible defaults instead of breaking the reader.
