Read Helper



ℹ️ About

This extension lets you read with your reading speed in mind and gives you a couple of shortcuts and mod cons to help you in your reading session.

⁉️ Reason

The key reason was to help me in my reading (especially in web novels), so the core of the application is to help the user with scroll, as time passed however I decided to add more features.

🌱 Requirements

You just need a browser that supports chrome extensions (Chrome Extensions API).

❔ Getting Started

To use this you need to:

  • Load the unpacked version on your browser

To load the unpacked version

  1. Download this repository (unzip it if needed)

  2. Go to the extensions page of your browser (probably chrome://extensions)

  3. Enable the 'Developer mode':

  1. Now click the 'load unpacked' button that has appeared on the top left and choose the folder of this project:

  1. You are done, enjoy 😀

Domain Preferences

You can also control where and when the extension will run using URL and Domain preferences

For example, you can block the extension at a specific URL using the menu and no more scroll for that*

block url

Maybe you prefer to block an entire domain (hostname)

block domain

* All shortcuts are disabled


Specific Features

There is one more keyboard shortcut, the arrow key which allows the user to change the chapter in specific websites (like wuxiaworld and novelmania)

For example, you can press Left Arrow at this page and you will be redirected to the previous chapter, the same goes for Right Arrow for the next chapter.
