Firefox Extensions To Make Web Pages More Eye Friendly

To understand what I’m talking about, take a look at Dr Chip’s Vim Website which is a great resource about vim-related stuff, but is an extremely ugly website, I mean, it really hurt my eyes whenever I visit it.

If you use Firefox, then you can easily solve this problem with these two Firefox extensions. Both serve the same purpose: Making websites easier to read, by removing distractions and allowing you to focus on the content instead. Each one displays the website in a different style, and they have different options. I installed both and use them alternately (and regularly).

The first extension is called “Readability”, and is found here. The other is called “Firefox Reader”, and is located here.

Using is as easy as clicking a button, so I’m sure you’ll be able to manage without my help ;-)

Here are some screenshots of Dr Chip’s Website without and with the above extensions:
