Readability – Firefox Add-on that makes reading webpages easier

Hi all,

Readability is a Firefox add-on that makes reading web pages easier. By activating the Readability add-on on a particular web page, it compresses the original web page & displays only the main contents of that page (i.e. text).

So that we can easily go through the important data in a website by skipping the ads, images etc. You can activate it by just clicking the readability icon on Firefox status bar (or) by using the below keyboard shortcuts. By right clicking on the readability icon you can get other Styling Options.
