Is SimpRead - Reader View safe?
SimpRead can import a user-supplied 'third-party rule source' and runs expressions from those rules against the pages you read.
In its options page, SimpRead lets you add rule-source URLs (any address ending in .json, plain HTTP allowed); it fetches each one as unsigned JSON and merges its site-matching rules into your local reading configuration. Rule fields can carry a small expression syntax that SimpRead evaluates against the current page's content when a matching site is opened, using the same page access its content script already has.
