New Wave

Software maker arc90 has created a free browser-bookmarklet they're calling readability that markedly improves surfing by removing all the distracting stuff you're trying not to look at on a web page.

It’s a great concept and well executed.

For instance if you're reading an article on a newspaper website, one click re-formats it to look like a page from a novel.

Everything else vanishes, ads, banners, all the extraneous junk. The only thing remaining is the text presented in your choice of crisp font on a white background with links intact.

Think clean. Think quiet. Think AdBlock taken to the ultimate extreme in engineering and design.
