A Chrome Extension for Clutter-free Reading and Printing


Mercury Reader - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mercury-reader/oknpjjbmpnndlpmnhmekjpocelpnlfdi?hl=en -  OR - https://mercury.postlight.com/ - is a Chrome extension that removes sidebar content from articles that you view in your Chrome web browser.

Mercury Reader will hide...
  • banner ads,
  • suggested "related" articles, and
  • anything else that is not a part of the primary article on the page you are viewing.

When educators and/or learners use Mercury Reader to print an article, all of the sidebar content is removed thereby saving them paper and ink.

"Mercury Reader is more than just a tool for hiding sidebar content from a page."

It can also be used to adjust the font size and colour contrast of a page and Kindle users can send a page directly from Mercury Reader to their Kindles.

Watch Richard Byrne's video to see how Mercury Reader works - https://www.youtube.com/embed/yEz0o5YQqGQ
