PaperMode

PaperMode is a paper-style reading mode for people who read a lot on the web. Use it for articles, documentation, research pages, newsletters, wikis, and other long-form webpages. Inspired by the calm, grayscale feel of e-ink readers, PaperMode turns busy pages into a quieter reading surface with Light and Night modes, adjustable intensity, per-site settings, and image hover reveal. It is built for readers, students, researchers, developers, and anyone who wants a quieter way to read text-heavy pages. KEY FEATURES - One-click reading mode Turn PaperMode on or off from the Chrome toolbar popup. - Light and Night modes Use Light mode for warm paper-style reading during the day, or Night mode for lower-brightness reading in darker environments. - Adjustable intensity Tune the effect from subtle to strong with a 0-100% slider. - Per-site settings Use global defaults across the web, or save a different mode and intensity for the current site. - Image hover reveal Images are softened while reading. Hover over an image to reveal the original color version. - Works on regular webpages PaperMode runs on http and https pages and keeps links, forms, buttons, and scrolling usable. WHAT PAPERMODE DOES NOT DO PaperMode is a visual reading aid. It simulates a paper-inspired screen appearance, but it does not turn your display into real e-ink hardware, change your monitor backlight, or make health claims. Some complex websites, videos, canvas content, browser-internal pages, and restricted Chrome pages may not be fully affected because of browser limitations.
