Reading your favorite post on your favorite blog? But the Advertisements there are disturbing you? If you are a Google Chrome user then we have an extension (or solution) for you.

Shankar Ganesh (of KillerTechTips fame) quite recently developed an extension – Text Only, Please. This extension uses ViewText.org to render a text-only version of the webpage.

Open Links in Text Only Mode

Step 1 : First install ‘Text Only, Please’ extension.

Step 2 : Now open any webpage, for example, HellBound Bloggers (HBB). Now you can right click on any link in Google Chrome and choose ‘Open in text only mode’. The web page you clicked on will open in a new tab, devoid of ads and clutter.

Seriously I loved this extension and this will be also really useful for people having poor internet connection or bandwidth limits. As of now, API is not used and you can expect more advanced features soon. You can give your feedback via comments for further enhancement.

  Actually, I like Text only mode extensions and it would be more helpful for all the folks having low internet connections.

  Nice info Pradeep. So it would just look like a text file, right? Won’t look like we are on the web i guess. But good for people with extremely slow connection.

  I really don’t use chrome much as I’m very used to for firefox and I feel it’s the best browser. But I must agree that Chrome is too improving very fast.

  Chrome is really working hard to dominate the browser world. This is very good feature which it’s offering now.

  Nice share Pradeep, certainly a good extension since many times we need to view only the text of the articles or websites…also it will be pretty good for people who have low speed connections

  This is a very good extension because sometimes we need text only mode while reading articles. There is a similar add-on in Firefox but in Chrome I think this is first of this kind.

  Very useful extension, for those who have slow connections…and would be useful when opening a website having a lot of adverts too…btw would it block pop ups on a page?

  Thanks Pradeep for featuring the extension. Happy to be here.
  There are not many features at the moment. What’s imminent is a toolbar button which you can click to load the current web page in text only format.
  If any of you here have suggestions, please let me know.

  Great job on the post. However, the last line is a problem.
  “You can tell your feedbacks via comments for further enhancement.”
  Should be “You can give your feedback …”
  Feedback is never plural. It’s what they call “uncountable”.
