## What it is
Jiffy Reader is a browser extension that speeds up reading on any website by bolding the initial parts of words (bionic reading style), with customizable toggles and sliders. This specific repository is an archived, unmaintained copy; development continues under the jiffyreader organization.

## Use cases
- read web articles faster
- apply bionic reading to any website
- bold beginnings of words while browsing
- reduce reading fatigue on long pages
- install a speed-reading extension on Chrome or Firefox
- use a reading helper bookmarklet

## When to choose
- you want bionic-style bolded text on any site you visit
- you need a cross-browser reading aid including Safari and Android Firefox
- you prefer a lightweight toggle rather than a separate reader app

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained version - use jiffyreader/jiffyreader-plugin instead
- you need features beyond text bolding such as full reader mode
- you require guaranteed updates for new browser APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- domain: developer-tools, accessibility, web-development
- platform: browser, browser-extension, cross-platform
