boom! is a Chrome extension that aims to declutter webpages and improve readability. Developed by rileyjshaw, this free add-on falls under the Browsers category, specifically Add-ons & Tools.
One of the main problems boom! addresses is the excessive clutter found on some websites. With boom!, users can easily remove unnecessary elements and make webpages more readable. Additionally, the extension allows users to bypass annoying paywalls on certain websites, enabling them to access content without the need for creating an account.
Another issue boom! tackles is intrusive advertisements. By using boom!, users can delete these ads to their heart's content, providing a cleaner and more enjoyable browsing experience.
boom! also offers a feature to enhance the readability of text elements. By simply shift-clicking on a text element while the extension is active, users can improve its typography and make it easier to read.
The extension can be activated by clicking on the bomb icon, which lights the fuse. From there, users can click on elements to delete them or hold shift and click on text elements to enhance their readability. To deactivate the extension, users can either hit the escape key or click on the bomb icon again.
Furthermore, boom! provides the option to assign a hotkey for toggling the extension on and off. This can be done by going to Tools -> Extensions and clicking on the "Keyboard shortcuts" link at the bottom.
With its ability to declutter pages, improve readability, and address common browsing issues, boom! is a valuable Chrome extension for users looking to enhance their online experience.
