Hi internet dwellers and web readers — meet your new favorite reading companion: PNL Reader.

PNL Reader is a lightweight, privacy-first browser extension that transforms any webpage into a clean, focused reading experience. Whether you’re diving into a technical article, a web novel, or a community thread, PNL Reader helps you stay immersed without distractions.

🧵 How It Started

It began with a simple question in the Programming N’ Language (PNL) Community:

“Why doesn’t Dictionariez work in Reader Mode?”
👉 Read the thread

As someone who frequently uses both Dictionariez and web novel sites, I immediately felt the pain. Most reader modes either:

• Broke extension functionality,

• Demanded way too many permissions,

• Or offered little to no customization.

So, instead of waiting for a fix, I decided to build one — and PNL Reader was born.

🔍 What Is PNL Reader?

PNL Reader is a browser extension that turns any webpage into a customizable reader mode — clean, minimal, and easy on the eyes. It removes ads, enhances typography, and gives you full control over your reading environment.

And the best part? It’s designed with privacy and simplicity at its core.
