23/30: A Chrome extension that I like
One of my most-used Chrome browser extensions is Clearly. You install it and it puts a little button at the top of your browser window.
Then, when you come across a page like this:
,
you click this little reading lamp:
and you instantly get this:
I like it better than ad blockers because a) sometimes I do want to see ads, but get them out of the way for serious reading, b) as far as I know, the web page still gets an ad-hit for my click, and c) Clearly, besides removing extraneous crap from the page, renders the main content in a font size and line width I can specify for my own reading ease.
ETA: Oh, and a page rendered in Clearly usually doesn't display comments--believe me, a huge boon when reading anything about bicycling in any local press anywhere.
