A calmer way to read

Flow, without taking over.

TextFlow has one focused job. Every permission and setting is built around that job—and nothing else.

01

One click, current tab

Open TextFlow and restore normal selection for the page in front of you. Click again to return it to its original behavior.

02

Approve only what you trust

Optional per-site access lets TextFlow activate after reload—and Chrome asks before a site is added.

03

Controls stay protected

Inputs, buttons, editors, maps, media, canvas, and drag controls are deliberately left alone.

Designed for control

Clear choices. Real boundaries.

See what TextFlow does, what it stores, and what always stays yours.

Small extension, serious defaults

Everything needed. Nothing watching.

Selection restored

Select and copy ordinary text on pages that suppress standard browser behavior.

Right-click returned

Restore the normal context menu when a page blocks it with client-side handlers.

Local by default

No account, server, analytics, advertising, tracking, or remotely hosted code.

Reversible control

Disable TextFlow for the tab at any time. Your original page behavior returns immediately.

Site access, your choice

Automatic activation is opt-in and limited to origins you explicitly approve.

Accessible settings

Choose system, light, or dark appearance and reduce motion or transparency.

Honest by design

Access stays access.

TextFlow does not bypass logins, subscriptions, DRM, CAPTCHA, downloads, server permissions, Chrome security pages, or the built-in PDF viewer. Compatibility varies with page structure.

Good questions

Before you install.

Does TextFlow collect the text I select?

No. TextFlow does not collect, store, or transmit page content, selected text, URLs, or browsing history. Its work happens locally in your browser.

Does it bypass paywalls or protected content?

No. TextFlow only helps with ordinary browser interactions on content you can already access. It does not bypass logins, subscriptions, DRM, CAPTCHA, downloads, or server permissions.

Why can’t it run on every page?

Chrome protects browser settings pages, the Chrome Web Store, the built-in PDF viewer, and some other surfaces from extensions. TextFlow respects those boundaries.

Will it break buttons or editors?

TextFlow is designed to preserve interactive controls, but page structures vary. If a page behaves unexpectedly, disable TextFlow for the tab and contact support.

Keep the web readable

Ready when the page isn’t.

TextFlow is now available on the Chrome Web Store. Install it free, then restore ordinary text interaction with one click.
