The tiny tool of the year
If you’re even slightly addicted to news and information on the web you need Readability.
It’s a javascript “bookmarklet” which takes a cluttered page like this:
and with one click turns it into this supremely readable text:
It takes about 10 seconds to set up, it works on most pages containing articles and on any operating system. Compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all. All you need to do is select your text preferences on this page at arc90 Laboratory then drag the Readability link button from their page into your Favorites or Bookmarks, preferably on the toolbar.
If you wish to return to the previous cluttered version, just refresh your browser page » Ctrl+R in Firefox, F5 in Internet Explorer.
