Review Summary
Screen Mask is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness in helping users focus on reading by masking unwanted text, working well on many sites including some PDFs. It is especially beneficial for users with visual impairments. However, it suffers from inconsistent functionality across different websites, occasional need to restart Chrome, and lack of advanced features like remembering scroll position or fixed mask positioning. User feedback highlights both gratitude for the tool's helpfulness and frustration with its occasional unreliability.
