Description
Aletheia is reading glasses for the web: a Chrome extension that hides common summary-style panels and collapses likely clutter, locally in your browser. No signup, no telemetry, no cloud classifier. On-page on/off, per-site clarify or allow, What changed, show page as-is, optional reading layout. Not an ad blocker; not AI detection. We miss on purpose rather than break pages. Settings stay on-device. For the people.
