For some time now, I’ve been wanting a Firefox UI button for Gabriel Coarna’s extremely useful Readable Bookmarklet/Script which makes the web “reading-friendly” by cutting out all the flashy ads and colors.
Only, I don’t like bookmarklets, they take up too much space. Fortunately you can use existing Firefox extensions to turn this bookmarklet into a Firefox UI button.
THE SIMPLE WAY WITH A DEFAULT STYLE
Install the CustomButtons extension.
Then click here to install the button. Click OK and this is will setup my style for the button. Skip to points 3 and 4 in the Custom Way below.
THE CUSTOM WAY
If you want to put in a custom style, go to Readabale’s setup page and customize your style.
1. Right click the Readable Bookmarklet and select “Copy Link Location”.
2. Then click here and select EDIT. Go to the “Code” tab and paste the copied text into quotes after loadURI(“ ”). Hit OK.
3. Right Click anywhere on the toolbars and select “Customize”. You should see the Readable button.
4. Drag where you want and enjoy.
