Reading Mode - Chrome Extension

Reading Mode is a Chrome extension designed to help you focus and understand online articles faster. With a simple keyboard shortcut—Opt+L on macOS or Alt+L on Windows—you can switch the current article into a clean, distraction-free reading view. This removes visual clutter so you can concentrate on the text, while adding AI-powered tools that improve comprehension and speed.

Inside Reading Mode, you can transform dense writing into clear takeaways without leaving the page. Summarize individual paragraphs to grasp the main idea instantly, or convert paragraphs into bullet points for quick scanning and note-taking. If you’re reading content in another language, you can translate sentences into 40+ languages to make foreign articles accessible in your preferred language.

Reading Mode also supports lightweight research while you read. Use Google search integration to look up unfamiliar terms or concepts without opening new tabs or breaking your flow. When you need a specific detail, you can chat with the article to get direct answers based on the page’s content—useful for clarifying confusing sections or locating key facts.

Whether you’re studying, doing research, or just trying to get through long reads more efficiently, Reading Mode turns any supported article page into a focused reading workspace with practical AI tools built in.

Reading Mode is a feature activated by the keyboard shortcut Opt+L (Alt+L on Windows) when reading articles online. It removes distractions and provides tools to enhance reading comprehension and speed.
