There are thousands of articles and books freely available on the Internet. Any user can read them through a browser without saving to a computer. To make this process convenient and comfortable, there are special extensions that put pages in reading mode.

An easy way to turn any web page into text is to install the appropriate add-on. In the Google Webstore, you can find various extensions designed for this purpose.

Reading mode is a very handy feature that allows you to focus on reading and not be distracted by other elements of the site.
