TidyRead Firefox Addon Available

If reduced clutter and easy reading is what your after then TidyRead has been released as a Firefox Addon. Note: it is still at experimental stage.

The overlay method makes it easy to use for articles and has the benefit of hiding all those online advertisements.

Tidy Read V's Readability

Tidy Read is an interesting alternative to Readability. It also installs as a Bookmarklet.

TidyRead aims to bring you back an enjoyable reading experience on the Web. We design and develop the algorithm to accurately extract article from any article web page in any language, and some of the styles and options are inspired by Arc90 Readability and PrintWhatYouLike. Enjoy and feel free to send us your comments and suggestion.

Both page cleaners deliver some haphazard results with blog posts. Tidy Read does a better job of rendering multiple posts.

Both offer customisation for the rendered page, though TidyRead's options are always available via a toolbar.
Readability requires that you set your page preference by visiting their Settings page.

Bottom line, they both offer a solution to page clutter and visual stress.
