Personal Introduction

Simplify (简悦) is a browser extension designed to enhance the reading experience, with its core functionality being the optimization of webpage display. Similar extensions include https://forum.beginner.center/t/topic/708

The author has adapted it for hundreds of commonly used websites and has been continuously updating it for several years. Issues on GitHub are always addressed promptly; it’s truly a labor of love.

Beyond website optimization, it also offers these features:

  • Annotation on webpage content, interoperable with your own note-taking software, basically compatible with all mainstream apps (Evernote, Notion, etc.)
  • Various formats for exporting webpage content and images

Most of the time, I use Simplify to archive and repost content. Many reposts on this site are done through it:

  • Open a website
  • Double-press the keyboard a a to activate Simplify
  • Copy as markdown
  • Then paste it anywhere, for example:

I’ve only used a small part of Simplify’s functionality. If you want to unleash its full potential, you can check out more related content on SSPAI:

FYI: If you only want to achieve highlighting functionality on Safari, you can search for “highlighter for Safari” in the App Store.

Additionally, I highly recommend the Darkmode extension, which should support all platforms and offers one-click toggling of dark mode.
