This is a project I did to scratch my own itch. I have this problem of finishing an article I start reading; I can not abandon it however bad it is, don't ask me why. So I developed this extension for chrome where it tells you how much time it would take you to read an article. Sounds odd but for me Knowing the time investment I have to put in upfront would restrain me from mindlessly reading random articles. Works best on article based content. its opensource and you can contribute here, https://github.com/usergit/read-time link to the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-time/nccohhimobidpghgpnejnbkpoichbbml
