How to get article summaries with a 'TLDR' Chrome extension to read more in less time

• Google Chrome has an article summary extension that allows you to digest more in less time; it's called TLDR: Summarize Anything.
• This Chrome extension uses AI to pull the most important parts from the article and offers the article's summary in an adjustable length.

For many people, it's not possible to fully read every interesting article presented on an average day and still have leftover time to spare.

Luckily, Google Chrome's extension, TLDR: Summarize Anything, will summarize all the articles on your reading list. With this extension, you can get a summary, a 25% version of the article, a 50% version, and even see the full article but in an easier to read display.
