FocusRead Reader Mode extracts the text you came for from any web page and lets you read it distraction-free. Press Alt+R on any article and the extension removes ads, sidebars, cookie banners, related articles, and all other clutter.

It works on most of the web—news articles, blog posts, research papers, Medium, Substack, Wikipedia, PubMed, and more. The Load Full Text feature even breaks through sites that try to block reader mode tools.

The free version includes one-click activation, four themes (Light, Dark, Sepia, Paper), font size and family controls including OpenDyslexic for accessibility, column width options, reading progress tracking, in-reader search, and reading time estimates. All data stays on your device; the extension collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.

FocusRead PRO ($5 one-time, no subscription) adds Focus Bold (bolds the first half of each word for faster reading), Focus Line (dims everything except your current paragraph), and Auto Scroll with custom speed control.
