Why it works

A comfortable measure lets your eyes sweep to the end of a line and drop to the next without effort. Widen the measure and saccades overshoot; narrow it and rhythm breaks. This is also why increasing font size alone rarely fixes a cramped layout — the measure grows with it.

Check any page in thirty seconds

• Select one full sentence in the middle of a paragraph and count the characters, or estimate six characters per word.
• Look at the line height: text that nearly touches the line below needs more space.
• Resize the window: content should reflow, not demand horizontal scrolling.

The Clean Article Reader exposes these three controls directly, so you can tune them for a specific article before printing or sharing it.

Removing them safely

Only strip parameters you understand. The Link Cleaner removes a fixed list of campaign parameters and tracking fragments, upgrades the scheme to https, and shows you exactly what it changed before you copy anything.

When not to strip

Some parameters are functional: a search term, a pagination page or a variant id must stay. A good cleaner removes attribution only, which is why the list is explicit rather than a wildcard.
