The Internet offers a huge amount of information regarding any topic that can possibly exist, but every website has its own way of showing the people its information. There are lots of websites that show off a clean interface, along with an ad or two on the side, and a few content recommendations. While there are some that will bombard you with tons of ads, videos, recommendations, and so on, making it clutter-some.

There are various tools will help you make websites easier to read and help you focus on the content that really matters to you. Check out these three tools that can you help you clean websites so that it will be easier for you to browse along, as well as read its contents in a clearer perspective.

Readability

The Readability tool is an extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that lets you remove all the clutter including ads, recommendations, dialogs, social buttons, cooments, and almost everything distracting, and extract the actual content. It will only display the website name, the actual text content, photos/videos within the content, and all the links in it. All you need to do is install the extension in your favorite browser, then proceed in opening any article online. Next, click on the Readability extension button located at the upper right hand corner of the browser, and then select the Read Now option. The page will refresh after a delay, and you will notice that all the clutter will disappear.

Furthermore, you have complete control as to how you want the extracted content to look, including the ability to change the content size, day and night mode, and layout. If you suddenly ran out of time, you also have the option to save the article to read later, which you can choose right from the Readability extension button. (You need to sign up for this feature)

The Readability tool is compatible for Android and iOS devices.

Microsoft Edge's Reading View

Microsoft Edge comes with a built-in reading view that is fast and reliable. When you visit an online article, Edge will show a "Book" icon in the address bar. Simply clicking on it will remove all the unnecessary clutter and will just show the main site content. Be informed though that this tool doesn't offer any customization options. You will only get an easy-to-read webpage without any options to save or customize its look.

Firefox Reader View

If you happen to be a Firefox user, there's no need for you to use any third-party tool in order to make your life easier whenever you read websites. Firefox comes with a simple Reader View button (an open book icon) that you can find at the address bar, which when clicked will immediately clean the website and will show only the main content that you need. Similar to the Readability tool, you can also change the site's font style, layout, and even the background according to your preference.

You can also save your favorite articles with its saved to Pocket option so that you can easily view it later and to manage your reading lists. What's good about this browser feature is that it quickly makes a website easier to read unlike with Readability, in less than a couple of seconds, that is.
