BriskRead for Chrome

Extract any article into the BriskRead workspace in one click, free. Sign in with a BriskRead account only if you want your library and progress synced across devices.

How the extension behaves

• Right-click selected text or a page: opens a private RSVP popup immediately. You stay on the current tab.
• Speed read this page: extracts the page and opens the same local reader.
• Open BriskRead app: opens the full website for files, OCR, bionic reading, speech and AI.
• Options: developer endpoint settings. Normal users can leave the defaults unchanged.

Install in Developer mode

1. Download the release zip from the project release folder, or clone the repo and open chrome-extension/.
2. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
3. Click Load unpacked and select the chrome-extension directory (unzipped, with manifest.json at the root).
4. Pin BriskRead. Optional: right-click a page → Speed read this page, or press Alt+Shift+S.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

1. Open this page and choose Install from Chrome Web Store once the public listing is live.
2. Chrome handles installation and future updates automatically.

The Store button will appear here after Chrome approves the listing. Until then, use Developer mode above.

Optional sign-in for sync

1. Create or sign in to your free BriskRead account on the Account page.
2. Open the extension popup and use the same email to keep reading progress connected.
3. No account? Everything still works — it just stays on that device.

What we access
