User reviews

This extension has made reading information on the web the most invasive distraction in my life on a daily basis. I use this extension to remove the clutter of annoying ads and images so I can focus on the content. HOWEVER - with a clean reading page, I find that my focus has become acute, often forcing me to slide over to my new best AI friend #CoPilot to dissect words or phrases to gain a better understanding of the subject matter. This delightful process has resulted in me losing precious HOURS of sleep, getting outside, and meeting with family and friends. Meanwhile, I juggle working on my PhD, finishing my inspirational autobiography, running a Veteran-owned consulting business (mostly just giving away advice for free with no time to actually do any real marketing), and becoming a blogger in its infancy stage. Without this extension, I would spend countless hours or take shortcuts, thereby making my material kindergarten-ready where was this app when I was in undgrad.Thanks
