With Simplify 4 Me, you can instantly turn confusing text into clear, everyday English — without leaving the page. Key Features Instant simplification: Highlight any word or phrase on a webpage, then press a hotkey or right-click → “Simplify” to replace it with clearer English in place. Custom replacement rules: Define your own rules (e.g. commence → start, endeavor → try) and save them for future use.
