Analog Reader — Calm Read
View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
Analog Reader strips ads, banners, popups and sidebars off the page and shows only the article — beautifully typeset, in themes that feel like real analog media instead of a sterile "dark/light" switch.
Bring back the quiet, warm glow of reading.
FREE THEMES
• Warm Evening — cream paper and low contrast, like a lamp under a shade
• Dark Night — a gentle dark theme that is easy on the eyes
• Old Book — classic book antiqua on aged paper
• 90s Newspaper — a full newsprint experience: masthead with today's date, drop caps, justified columns, halftone paper
MORE ATMOSPHERES
• Samizdat — underground typewriter copy, with a "fresh imprint" mode
• Terminal — green phosphor CRT with scanlines (switchable to amber)
• VHS — chromatic aberration, tape noise and a VCR overlay
• Scriptorium — illuminated manuscript with a gilded drop cap
• Mono no Aware — meditative Japanese minimalism
• Lightbox — an archivist's light table, cold or amber

A READER THAT FEELS ALIVE

• Interface in English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No analytics. No network requests at all — fonts, textures and sounds are bundled inside. Your settings and reading positions never leave your device. The extension only touches a page when you click its icon.
