MALWARE :

access to many permissions and send data to server

Amazing extension. I'm a permission freak and so is it possible to remove the "read and change data on all websites" permission. Similar to how ublock origin lite does it. Gives you the option to add certain sites where you give complete permission access to the extension (I know it can be done from manage extension page but it's too cumbersome instead of from the extension itself). For rest of the sites it doesn't have any permissions.

I looked at dozens of extensions and a few whole new browsers. Some improve your privacy, others block ads. But I don't care about privacy and ads, I care about reading the article!

Unclutter is perfect. It removes everything that is not the article. All popups about cookies, newsletters, subscriptions, etc. are gone. I appreciate that websites have to make a living, but in the process they have made themselves completely unusable. I don't know why anyone still visits them. But apparently they do because I keep clicking on links from friends and family that take me to them.

There are a few other extensions that do the same thing and I appreciate them all. What puts Unclutter ahead of them though:
- It's open-source. This is important in an extension that needs access to all data on all sites.
- It keeps the original styling/formatting. It's amazing this is even possible.
- It's crowd-sourced, so it works well even on niche websites. (Or you can submit an improvement with a click.)
- You get a cool table of contents on the side. It's surprisingly useful. (All this time we could have had something useful in the sidebar!)
- Everything is very polished and pretty. For example, you get a nice transition when turning on Unclutter.

Thanks so much!

Very well-designed reading extension.

Highlights:
- Useful features: highlight, reading lists
- Reading mode aesthetic: keeps the original styling, has clear UI, is easy to navigate, is easy to manage (really "unclutters")
- Quick, easy, clean customizability without the hassle: narrow or widen the reading space, increase or decrease font size - it offers essential features that can be tweaked flexibly and conveniently. Really attentive UI planning.

Potential improvements:
- Feature to select/delete/manage reading highlights more easily (in board view).
- Feature to "unhighlight" within the reading page
- Omit duplicate highlighting (highlighting the same text more than once)
- Pop-up dictionary integration (Google dictionary extension doesn't work when I use this extension at the moment) or a toggle to turn on pop-up dictionary by highlighting

A very excellent extension overall.

I would love to contribute on GitHub; however, I am very lacking in terms of my technical skills right now. I hope to see your team flourish in the future.

Clever extension definitely makes a lot of websites more readable. Absolutely invaluable on a phone screen!

Updating my review as I love that it's run-on-demand now, and there is an option to automatically run on the same site it's already been used on. Fantastic usability.

(My original review requested a version of the addon that does popup blocking without retheming, but I've since discovered PopUpOFF which fills that need very well for sites I don't want retheming.)

Unclutter is the best Reader Mode style addon I've found. My one remaining wish is for it to work in Android's Custom Tab.
Great work, and look forward to using this on more cluttered sites.
