Distraction-free reading designed to be easy on your eyes

Many online articles are cluttered with ads and distracting layouts, making focused reading exhausting. This browser extension converts articles to text-only views following WCAG 2.2 standards: using sepia backgrounds, 1.5× line spacing, 50–75 character line lengths, and screen-optimized sans-serif fonts to enhance readability and reduce eye strain. Shortcut key: Alt+Shift+Y or Command+Shift+Y Limitations: it's designed for reading plain text articles. Because it hides images, tables, and formulas, some pages may lose important context or meaning.
