TL;DWR (Too Long; Didn't Watch/Read) is a free web extension for the Chrome browser that aims to provide users with concise summaries of websites and videos. Developed by tldwr.pr, TL;DWR focuses on brevity and helps users bypass excessive and irrelevant content that often obstructs access to valuable information.

With TL;DWR, users can summarize websites, YouTube videos, playlists, and foreign content, while also checking for explicit material on websites. The extension incorporates summarization, translation, and preemptive searching capabilities, allowing users to quickly grasp the essence of a topic, regardless of language barriers.

For example, TL;DWR can condense a lengthy research paper or a three-hour YouTube video into a short paragraph, highlighting the key points discussed.

The extension's logo, featuring the sigma symbol, represents its ability to summarize content in multiple languages, ranging from articles to videos. TL;DWR aims to enhance browsing convenience by enabling access to content across language barriers, providing disclaimers for potential explicit content, and helping users avoid misleading or click-bait material. It supports up to 40 languages and offers two types of summarization techniques: abstractive and extractive summarization, catering to the needs of both scholars and casual web surfers.
