Permanent Readability is a free Chrome extension developed by Gruntfuggly. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension aims to improve the reading experience by adding a context menu to enable or disable Readability for the current domain on a permanent basis.

The main feature of Permanent Readability is its compatibility with the Readability Redux extension. Although it can function independently, the extension works best when used in conjunction with Readability Redux, albeit with slightly slower performance.

The latest version, 0.10, brings support for wildcards in domain matching and fixes the context menu. Additionally, version 0.9 introduces help for defining patterns and resolves the confirm dialog issue when leaving the options page after making changes.

With version 0.8, Permanent Readability fixes the back button and reload button, allowing users to cancel readability. It also separates the domain name from the pattern for better consistency and accurately detects the presence of Readability Redux.

Overall, Permanent Readability is a useful tool for Chrome users who want to enhance their reading experience on selected domains. Its compatibility with Readability Redux and continuous updates make it a reliable choice for those seeking improved readability while browsing the web.
