Brutal Reader drops distraction-free web reading

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT

Brutal Reader is a minimalist, open-source Chrome extension that strips webpages to core text and images with a "warm paper" aesthetic. Designed for Substack, Medium, and news sites, it removes ads, popups, and sidebars in one click.

// ANALYSIS

Brutal Reader is a refreshing return to minimalist design for the cluttered web, prioritizing readability over monetization-driven UI. It uses local DOM transformation for instant content isolation and is optimized for Substack and long-form blogs, offering a zero-dependency, privacy-focused alternative to paid reader apps.
