Double Read is a free Chrome extension developed by Andres Martin Jimenez. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools program.

This extension allows users to read websites in two columns, which act like independent pages. It provides a convenient way to view and compare content side by side. However, it's important to note that there is a limitation - websites that do not allow external origin scripts will not load.

In the latest version, 1.6, Double Read has introduced several new features. Now, the extension stops when there is no more content to show, updates the scroll on resize, and allows users to scroll from both sides. These updates enhance the user experience and make reading websites in two columns even more seamless.

Additionally, version 1.3 of Double Read includes an error message when an iframe is not possible, and when users click on a link, the other column or frame also updates. The new icon adds a fresh visual appeal to the extension.

Overall, Double Read is a useful Chrome extension for those who prefer reading websites in a two-column format. It offers a convenient way to compare and view content side by side, enhancing the reading experience.
