Readr, Safari-Like Reading Mode for Chrome

I like Safari's Reading Mode. It works practically everywhere, it's clean, and it looks great. I suppose that because Chrome's team prioritizes ads, they don't want one, so all their experiments in that area turned out badly (especially the one where you just get the raw page text in a sidebar).

Chrome Web Store has a bunch of options but imo none of them look good despite a million settings that they have.

Thankfully, Claude Code allowed me to build the exact extension I wanted. So here it is. It mostly uses Mozilla's Readability with some heuristics on top.

Well, that's on me, but here's the link: https://github.com/ymolodtsov/readr Not sure I can delete it, certainly can't change the URL post-publishing.
