Postlight Reader removes all surrounding clutter like ads, comments, sidebar content, headers and footers, leaving only the article content itself on a simple, distraction-free page. This makes it easier to focus on actually reading. The text is reformatted and optimized for better readability as well.

In addition to the browser extension versions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, Postlight Reader also offers mobile apps and a web app accessible from any device with a browser. An optional Premium subscription unlocks full access with unlimited use across all platforms.

Overall, Postlight Reader aims to solve the problem of modern news sites optimized to maximize clicks over readability. By extracting and optimizing text, Postlight Reader makes articles simpler and less distracting to read. For those wanting to focus on content over clicks, it's an indispensable reading tool.
