SimpRead (简悦) is a browser extension that provides an immersive, distraction-free reader view for web pages, with site-specific adaptations for hundreds of sites. Version 2.0 adds web clipping, highlighting/annotation, a read-later list, and export to Markdown, PDF, Epub, Kindle, and note-taking services like Notion and Evernote.

Use cases

• read web articles without ads and clutter
• save web pages to read later
• clip web articles into Notion or Evernote
• export web pages to markdown or epub
• highlight and annotate web content
• read markdown and txt files in the browser
• focus mode for reading specific parts of a page

When to choose

• you want a polished reader mode with Chinese-optimized typography
• you need clipping plus annotations plus read-later in one extension
• you export web content to many formats and note apps
• you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or mobile browsers

When to avoid

• you only need a minimal open-source reader mode without paid pro features
• you need a fully offline/self-hosted solution
• you want a headless or API-driven extraction tool rather than a browser extension
