Read Websites Without Ads

If you have ever tried to read an article online, you know how annoying advertisements can be, especially when they are in between paragraphs. There are also widgets and other "unnecessary" objects on pages. Those of you that have Iphones and smartphones know exactly how big of a hindrance these objects can be. That is why they made TidyRead. TidyRead extracts text from just about any website and presents it in an easy to read format without ads and other objects. All you have to do is go to http://www.tidyread.com and drag the link to your browser's bookmarks toolbar. Or, if you have an Iphone, you can install their program directly on your phone.

If you have firefox, you can get the add-on here. This puts a nice little icon on your status bar. If you choose to use the Firefox add-on, make sure you disable smart mode or else it will automatically convert every page you visit. To do this: Click Tools - TinyRead - Settings - Disable Smart Mode.
