Revision of Tranquility from Wed, 02/26/2014 - 23:57

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

Tranquility is a FireFox extension that improves the readability of web articles.

Tranquility removes unnecessary elements in a webpage, and provides a simple and tranquil reading experience. Similar functionality is available through Readability or iReader. Tranquility attempts to solve the same problem using a different approach.

To use tranquility you can:

Click on the navigation-bar icon and the current web-page will be made readable OR
Use Ctrl+Alt+T as a keyboard shortcut OR
Right click on a link and choose "Tranquility!" from the context menu. A new tab will open the link in the Tranquility mode.
Heavy users of Tranquility can enable the Pause/Break button as a single key shortcut
Macintosh users are requested to use the Customizable Shortcuts addon to create their own customized keyboard shortcut

The navigation-bar button or the keyboard shortcut can be used to toggle back to the original web page. A drop down menu attached to the navigation-bar button provides easy access to the preferences window.

Features:

Compatible with NoScript
Ability to customize default font, font-size, font color, background color, and width of the reading area
Preliminary support for multi-page documents (where a print view or a single page view is provided)
Selected text can be queried in Wikipedia or Wiktionary through right click context menu options or using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+W and Ctrl+Alt+D respectively. Click outside the Wiki panel to hide it
Ability to disable the background image from the preferences window
Additional links are now available through a "More Links" button
Tranquil Browsing Mode is enabled by default. In this mode, left clicking on a link in the Tranquility view will also open the link URL in the Tranquility view in the current tab. Ctrl+Left Click will open the link URL in the Tranquility view in a new tab
If a web page has not completed loading fully, Tranquility will wait for it to complete loading before processing the document
Tranquility informs you when a web page has very little text content and reverts back to the original web page view. You can always force Tranquility to proceed anyway and show you the Tranquility view
