Looks like a work in progress. It removes everything from the page except the text, but the controls don't work correctly, the width of text cannot be changed and the colours are harsh (black & white) and cannot be changes. There are some much better alternatives available.

Not as clean as Safari, but better than dodging all the ads. Hoping Google keeps working on it.
