Unclutter, caratteristiche principali

extension for Chrome/Brave and Firefox
free
Open source
allows you to save articles for later
helps to read only the text without distraction

If you are looking for something to help you concentrate better when reading websites then perhaps we have just the thing for you. What he does Unclutter it is also done by the classics reading mode of the various Browsers, However Unclutter it just makes it better!

Once you add this extension on your Browsers will appear as an icon. From here you can press the right button to save an article for later and then find it in your library together with the history of the articles you have read. For this step you don't need to register anywhere but it's all done locally. However, if you want to keep everything in the cloud, Unclutter they also offer you a paid subscription of around €5 per month, (with 14 days free trial) in their cloud. Once registered it is also possible to synchronize everything with Pocket and with Hypotes.is or import articles from Raindrop, from Instapaper, from a CSV or from your favorites.

Unclutter, save articles and read them without distractions!

In addition to the possibility of saving pages to read them later, the most interesting function of this extension is the possibility of eliminating everything that is not needed within a page and which is generally a distracting element. However, unlike the classic reading mode, not everything is eliminated in favor of just text but the CSS of the various sites remains. Therefore the fonts, colors and even the images that belong to the article are not eliminated but remain alongside the text. Instead, everything that is considered a nuisance element is removed.

Another interesting feature of Unclutter is the ability to make notes within the text. In fact, all you need to do is underline words or phrases to make an annotation appear. The notes you have entered are then all collected below so they can be checked again on a dedicated page.

In short, despite its simplicity, Unclutter seemed to us to be a really intelligent and interesting extension. The only comment we have to make is that €5 per month may seem a bit excessive even considering the price of Raindrop (€32 per year) e Instapaper (€30 per year). However, we liked it a lot and we are sure that some of you will find it equally useful!
