Questions

Good ones. Honest answers.

Does it work on every website?+

It works on any article with a main content area. Some sites, such as paywalled pages or dynamic web apps, may not extract cleanly.

Where are my highlights saved?+

Locally in Chrome's storage. No cloud sync. Highlights stay on your device and are never sent to our servers.

Can I change the font?+

Yes. Choose from serif (comfortable for long reads), sans-serif (clean and modern), or monospace (great for technical content).
