Readable Project Image

Congratulations! Readable installed successfully. You can right now start using your new add-on.


Readable is an application that helps you read more of the web. It transforms text on any website using fonts, colors, and layouts of your choosing.

To use it just click the icon on Firefox statusbar. Also by right clicking on icon you can get other Styling Options.

After a few seconds the web page will be simplified and you will achieve easy to read content panel. To exit the panel just click anywhere outside the content area.


If the add-on can not achieve a desired success you can manually select the text and then click the statusbar icon or toolbar icon to get the simplified version of the selected text.

You can also add a Toolbar button to the navigation toolbox. Right click on any toolbar button and choose the “Customise” option to drag the icon in toolbox.





If you find the application useful please support my development efforts.

  1. Hello Baris,

    Thank you for this wonderful add-on. I read a lot on the web, and have previously used Readability. But I like Readable more, for its level of customization.

    This is the best add-on I have tried so far. Its makes reading web articles so much easier! Works just like the in-built one in Safari! The customization options offered in Readable makes its even better!

    This is a nice alternative to Readability. However, could you please make the color themes completely remove the previous unformatted page that’s left in the background after your plugin processes the text? It’s faintly viewable even if you choose the pure black background.

    Being able to specify the exact font or margin size would also be sweet.

    Hello there Baris Derin, thank you very much for this. MAny web designers only think about how much cool a page can look and show no interest for the people who want to read it with comfort and ease. So this tool is wonderful! I’ve had some sites (I can’t remember now) that “don’t allow” or with which Readable can’t work with but it’s a minor issue.
    Thank you again and keep up the good work as it is very much appreciated by many people (who silently thank you – believe it!). Cheerio!

    Recently shifted from Safari to Firefox, and was saddened to find there was no Reading View until I found this. Thank you.
