Description

Based on this script:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/372448-reading-ruler/code

This reading ruler will aid you on reading texts on the internet
It will place a semi-transparent line on your screen, just hit the combination ctrl + r on windows and mac (not the command button but the control button) to activate the ruler, hit the same configuration to remove the ruler

This idea come from the reddit user /u/VectorLightning
And the thread can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SomebodyMakeThis/comments/9huwbw/smt_a_firefox_addon_that_adds_a_horizontal/

I hope you find this extension useful

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
