Muito bom! Faz uma limpa na informações desnecessária encontradas na página.

It works

Thank You! I loved the original Reader, but it no longer offers font or color change, so stuck w/ black serif font on glaring white. Now I've got sepia w/ brown helvetica again. Plus, photos are included. So happy I found you.

Although we will never be protected from wi-fi hackers it makes me feel better about knowing that there is some protection a victim of identity theft to the fullest but karma is real

The best reader.

Does the job and works reliably. Easy to use - click on icon to enter and exit. No 3-finger salutes on the keyboard or getting stuck in reader mode requiring a total refresh of the page.
Operation is MUCH more predictable than the "more popular" reader that's just named "Reader" for FF57+ (which also appears to collect usage data).
All that said, I like the "Enjoy Reading" add-on for the PaleMoon browser a bit better, but give this a try for FF57+. YMMV

Complete fail. Yet another FF dud. I was looking for a FF version of the excellent Chrome extension 'Just Read', but didn't find one. This was one of only two readers available for FF and it is just as bad as 'Reader'.

Cons:

• no keyboard shortcut
• fewer images than original
• no videos
• small text harder to read than original

Chrome 'Just Read':

• keyboard shortcut activates AND deactivates extension
• all images and videos included
• single page that scrolls without having to click on it
• easy-to-read formatted text

Someone PLEASE port 'Just Read' to FF.

Disadvantages over standard Firefox Reader:

Doesn't link to the original webpage. If the page is saved, then it's hard to find the original webpage.
Inaccurate extraction of main text compared to standard Firefox reader, leaving extraneous objects lying around like "skip to content" links. Firefox's reader mode has continuously refined its detection algorithm for the main text, and it seems this addon has fallen behind.
(+) menu stops working after page is saved, although I'd rather my pages didn't have any (+) menu to start with.
No ability to keep images.

Advantages over standard Firefox Reader:

Firefox's standard reader has extraneous crap like "19-24 minutes" and a sidebar full of buttons that makes saving pages hard. Whereas in this addon, options are kept in the addon menu which keeps the webpages clean, other than the (+) menu.
Configuration of font color.
Not an about:url, which means that other webextensions addons can interact with tranquility pages, such as Save Page WE.

Thanks for the feedback.

(1) If you click on the Tranquility Reader icon again, it should return you to the original page; just like clicking on the built in reader icon returns you to the original page. This will also work for saved pages; after loading a saved page from the "Offline Content" list, you can click on the icon to go to the original page. Let me know if that does not work for you.

(2) The (+) menu works fine for me even on saved pages. So, I am unable to reproduce this problem; maybe it is specific to some pages. Please leave a note with you OS/Firefox version and I can see if this is an OS specific problem. If you are consistently able to reproduce this on certain web pages, then please send me a sample link.

(3) The built in Reader does better than Tranquility Reader on several pages - and including the handling of images. In fact, for over a year, I had a note in my addon description page that people must try out the built in reader first and switch to this addon only if they find some of the other features I offer so useful that they want to switch. I have seriously considered stopping development and/or removing the addon from the addon store after the built in reader came out - the addon was created when there was no built in reader. I welcome the day when the built in reader replaces all readability addons including Tranquility Reader.

Sorry, by "save page" I meant saving it as html, using either Save Page WE or Firefox's native save behavior. I don't use the "Offline Content" behavior, because my goal is to create permanently storeable archives.

The developer is correct that saved pages can go back to the original page, I was wrong. Even if Tranquility is not installed, the original page can still be found, in a comment in the source code.

The (+) javascript doesn't work after saving as an html file. This is not a big deal since I don't have any use for the (+) menu anyway.

Firefox's built-in reader seems to be moving as a glacial pace, maybe it will become the replacement you seek in a few years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371786 Unfortunately nothing can interact with it for a few more months at minimum. I'm just browsing around for an addon that can create saveable reader-style webpages.

The disadvantages of this add-on are purely technical, but its design is better than the built-in version.
