## Why does it exist?



There many other "reader modes", but they all extract article text and re-render it their own format. Unclutter "unclutters" the original web pages itself, leaving their [visual style](docs/comparison.md) and interactive elements intact.



Articles you read with Unclutter are automatically saved and can be easily added to your read-it-later queue.

Everything happens instantly in your browser.



Other features include:



- [Crowdsourced blocklists](https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/element-blocking.md) for annoyances on specific websites

- [Automatically activating](https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/article-detection.md) the reader mode

- [Showing page chapters](https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/outline.md) to navigate long articles

- [Integrated social comments](https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/social-highlights.md) from Hacker News and Hypothes.is

- [Easily saving highlights](https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/annotations.md) by simply selecting text
