ReadFasterLabs Chrome Extension Is Live
We built ReadFasterLabs to help you actually retain what you read online. Today we're launching the Chrome extension that makes the whole workflow seamless.
One-Click Capture
Click the extension icon on any article, blog post, or documentation page. The extension extracts the content, strips out navigation and ads, and sends it straight to your ReadFasterLabs account. A new tab opens with a clean, distraction-free reading view and your timer starts.
Selection Mode
Don't need the full article? Highlight the section you care about before clicking the extension. It captures just your selection instead of the entire page. Great for long-form content where only a section is relevant.
Quiz Presets
Before capturing, choose your quiz depth right from the popup. Quick mode generates fewer questions for a fast check. Deep Dive generates more questions for thorough comprehension testing. Standard sits in the middle. You can always change this in your settings later.
How It Works
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
- Sign in to your ReadFasterLabs account (or create one for free)
- Browse to any article and click the extension icon
- Choose your quiz preset and hit Capture
- Read the article in a focused view, then take the AI-generated quiz
- Keep reading and re-testing until you hit your mastery target
Minimal Permissions
The extension only requests two permissions: activeTab (to read the current page when you click the icon) and scripting (to run the content extraction script). No background tracking, no browsing history access, no data collection.
