A Firefox extension to help you read faster and more thoroughly.
Install it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/speed-reader/
All aspects of how it looks are customisable in the options.
There are other extensions that do the same, but none for Firefox that doesn't require signing in.
Simply select the text you want to speed-read and click the extension button.
| Button | Action |

| Spacebar | Toggle pause |

yarn start
There is a sample html file so that it is not necessary to test it in the context of a Firefox extension.
Run tests with:
yarn test
yarn build
Creates a build/speed-reader.js file that's ready to be executed.
It is possible to simply add that file as a bookmarklet to achieve the same result as installing the extension.
