Overview

# Simplified

You're reading something online — an article, some code, a contract, a confusing email — and you hit a chunk of text where you just go "what?" Simplified is for exactly that moment.

Highlight whatever's tripping you up, click the icon that pops up, and get a plain explanation right there on the page. No new tabs, no googling, no losing your place. If the explanation isn't enough, ask a follow-up question — it works like a chat.

It handles code, docs, legal stuff, scientific papers, abbreviations, idioms, foreign words — basically anything you can select on a webpage.

## What it actually does

**Cuts through the noise.** You don't need to understand every word in a wall of text. Highlight the part that matters and get the gist — what it means, what's being asked, what you should pay attention to.

**Keeps you where you are.** The explanation shows up right next to what you selected. You stay on your page, in your flow.

**Lets you dig deeper.** The first explanation not enough? Ask "why?", "what does this part mean?", "can you give an example?" — it's a conversation, not a one-shot answer.

## Who it's for

Anyone who reads stuff online and sometimes gets stuck. Developers reviewing unfamiliar code. People dealing with contracts or terms of service they didn't write. Students reading papers. Anyone staring at a paragraph thinking "I've read this three times and I still don't get it."

## How to use

1. **Select the text** that's confusing you.
2. **Click the icon** that appears next to it — or type your own question right away.
3. **Read the explanation** in the popup.
4. **Ask follow-up questions** if you need more detail.

That's it. No setup, no configuration.

## Limitations

- Some websites with strict security policies may block extensions — nothing we can do about that
- Doesn't work with PDFs or Word files

## Give it a try

Install it, highlight something confusing, and see if it helps. That's the whole pitch.
