Candidates are Chrome Web Store listings whose title names the job (“read later”, “reader mode”, “reading mode”, “reader view”, with at least 2 000 users and at least 50 ratings). We then add up to 6 listings the catalog judges to do the same job even though their title never says so, because ranking by who writes the keyword best is backwards. Everything is ordered by current audience, which our own crawler reads from the store up to 2 times a day. Ordering by audience is not a verdict on quality: how many people kept an extension is what we can observe, and how good it is for you is not. On this page it added nothing: everything the catalog judged close enough was already found by title.

In the store's categories

This list follows what people ask for; the store files the same extensions under its own categories:

Is one of these yours?

The same catalog powers the panel: watch a competitor, get told when their numbers or permissions move, and see your own installs next to theirs.
