Readability: No Ads, Larger Print, Free
April 7, 2012
I use Readability every day. It is a free program that puts an icon on your navigation toolbar. It's next to my PRINT icon. When you click it, it does three things: (1) removes all adds, images, and clutter from a page; (2) expands the type face; (3) puts black letters on a white background. Everything gets easy to read.
I recommended this two years ago. The site got a lot of traffic over the last two years. The company tried to monetize this by charging for Readability. That strategy flopped, I am happy to report.
It is back as a free item. The company is monetizing the program by asking you to choose a bunch of stuff that I found useless, I recommend clicking "no" on all of them.
