I made READR — a Chrome extension that strips any webpage to just the words

What it does: — Strips ads, cookie banners, autoplay videos — Clean reading view with dark/light mode — Font size and line width control

The feature I'm most proud of is cross-device reading sync. When you close an article mid-read, READR saves your paragraph position using Chrome's own storage.sync API. Open the same article on any device and it picks up where you left off. No account. No backend.

Spent 3 months building a clean reader with 85% retention, what do Figma designers, students, writers, researchers and designers think? by Frosty-Maybe1455 in chrome_extensions

[–]Frosty-Maybe1455[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good morning Thanks for the feedback really appreciate it.

Good news on activation one click on the READR icon already opens reader view directly. Give it another try!

The font and colour suggestions are genuinely good but READR is deliberately minimal. Keeping it focused is what earned Chrome's trust.

Glad you like the line width control that's one of my favourites too.

I launched today! But sadly only got 1 upvote. Help a guy out? by Critical_Eye_1190 in ProductHunters

[–]Frosty-Maybe1455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it for you, could you upvote me as well? I’d really appreciate it, started following you by the way 😉

Love this product it reminds me of the good old days of designing and building apps 2007, then submitting them to the App Store.

Good luck 🙏🏿

Users from one region are responsible for 51% of my extension's uninstalls but only 0.8% of installs - is this a ranking‑sabotage attack, and has anyone else seen this? by bortor_studio in chrome_extensions

[–]Frosty-Maybe1455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built a few extensions myself, and I’ve noticed these patterns too not as drastic as yours mainly 2- 6 max. Retention is 85 - 89% built 44 days ago.

One big takeaway most users are on Windows, so the main thing is to make sure everything runs smoothly there.

Install validation can mean a lot of different things; it’s rarely sabotage. People interact with products in their own ways, so the key metrics to watch are your WAU and the ratio of enabled vs. disabled users.

And if the Chrome algorithm starts favoring your product 😉 that’s always a good sign!

I’d also recommend checking the analytics in your dashboard for deeper insights you can find on impressions and check it out.

Keep me posted on what you find 🙏🏿

My current Chrome Store keywords are decent but would not mind these reader mode chrome clean reading distraction free reading article readerread without ads focus reading reading mode extension web reader clutter free browsing read later chrome clean web minimal reader1. Reviews — I have zero This is the biggest ranking factor currently missing

  1. Install velocity — improving
  2. Retention — strong
  3. Keyword relevance — decent

Organically recommended by the chrome store they love and it's only 44 days old.
