## What it is
Unclutter is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that provides a modern reader mode by modifying a page's CSS to remove ads and clutter while preserving the site's original look and interactive elements. It also includes an automatic article library, read-it-later queue, text highlights, page outlines, and integrated social comments.

## Use cases
- declutter web articles in the browser
- read articles without ads and popups
- save articles to a read-it-later queue
- highlight and search quotes from articles
- navigate long articles with an outline
- enable dark mode on any website

## When to choose
- you want a reader mode that keeps each site's original visual style
- you want an article library and highlights that work entirely in your browser
- you use Chrome or Firefox and read long-form web content regularly

## When to avoid
- you need a server-synced read-it-later service across devices
- you want a reader mode that re-renders articles in a uniform format
- you need a mobile or native app rather than a desktop browser extension
