Whether you are doing online research or just reading digital text for pleasure, Readability provides the user with a better way to read content from the web. This Google Chrome extension can be installed from the Chrome Web Store for free by teachers and students alike. With the click of a button, most web pages get removed of all sidebars, ads, menus, and other clutter, making the text easier to read in an adjustable font with white on black or black on white color options. Check out the before and after images below for an example of what Readability can do. This extension is recommended for those students who get distracted by the clutter of most web pages and have a difficult time staying focused on the content of an online article. Readability also helps to make hard copies of articles cleaner when you just need to print them. The “save for later” feature could also come in handy when collecting various sources for online research.
