About Blipread: page reading time

Blipread is a simple way to see how long it takes for you to read a page. How much time do you have? Read now or later? Here's the answer. This extension should work on Windows, Mac and Linux. FEATURES — • displays in the toolbar the time in minutes to read the page • click on the icon for details, including current selection • your reading speed can be adjusted HOW IT WORKS — This extension counts the number of words on the page, and using the reading speed provided estimates how long it will take for you to read the whole page. While it's likely there are more words on the page that aren't strictly content, it's still a useful indication once adjusted for your reading speed in words per minute.
