Why reading online feels harder than it should

Between autoplaying video, cookie banners and sidebar ads, the paragraph you came for is often a few screens down. The words were always there. They just had company.

Strip that away and reading becomes a single column of text again, at a comfortable measure, in a typeface chosen for long reading.

Why reading online feels harder…

One column. Comfortable measure.

FreeReader fetches the public page at the link you paste and keeps the parts that make up the article: its title, headings and body text. Ads, banners, cookie notices, sidebars, overlays and autoplay video are dropped. Pages that need a login or subscription are not unlocked. Your recent articles are stored in your own browser, not on an account.
