# Unclutter — Modern Reader Mode
Unclutter is a modern reader mode and article library for your browser.

## 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
