Optimize Your Reading Experience with These Excellent Chrome Apps

If you are like us and love reading online you probably feel, from time to time, frustrated with the amount of distraction that accompany online reading materials (e.g., annoying ads, pop-ups, videos etc). Safari has a wonderful built-in reader mode which eliminates these distractive elements and provides you with a reader-friendly environment where you can focus and enjoy your reading. The defunct Evernote Clearly and Readability used to provide similar features to Safar’s reader mode. But if you are using Chrome extensions we have some good alternatives. These are extensions that will transform web pages into distraction-free and reader-friendly pages and provide you with an optimal reading experience online. You may want to check them out and see which ones work for you.
