Readability

This browser app is genius. It turns this super annoying, busy page (above), into the large font, clean page (below). In short, it takes out all the web noise by just giving you the content related to what you are reading/viewing and filters out all the rest. Click on the title of this post and follow the two easy steps to install it in your browser.
It's so simple to use. Once it's installed in your browser, just click on it when you're on any website (except home pages) and it'll automatically make it "readable."
