Reader View Chrome extension

Yes, Reader View is a free extension with no paid tier listed on the Chrome Web Store.

It needs permission to read and modify page content to strip clutter and reformat text. Check its listed permissions before installing.

Install it, open an article, then click the extension icon to switch the page into a clean reading mode.

Yes, adjustable text size is one of its core readability features.

Yes, it lets you adjust contrast along with text size and layout for a more comfortable view.

Built-in browser reading modes and other clutter-removal extensions are common alternatives.

It works best on standard article-style pages; results can vary on layouts that aren't structured as typical articles.

Some pages use non-standard layouts the extension can't parse as an article; try a different article page to confirm it's working.

Reader View focuses on stripping clutter and adjusting text size and contrast, not on annotation. There's no built-in highlighting or note-taking tool, so a separate extension is needed if you want to mark up what you're reading.

Alongside adjustable text size and contrast, the extension includes layout options for how a cleaned-up article gets displayed. That gives more control over the reading view than font size changes alone would.
