Go to the page you want to use and select "Reading Guide" from the toolbar to display the menu. Make various settings and then press the execute button.
You can change the size and color of the blindfold gap, and select the one that suits you.
It will be released with the release button.
It also supports vertical writing.
* Cannot be used on some special pages.
Chrome seems to have a built-in pdf viewer. So it doesn't work well on embedded pages.
If the address ends with [.pdf], the operability will be reduced as a test function, but the reading guide can be used.
The reading guide can be used by combining it as an extension of other pdf viewers.
* Some page elements may stop responding.

I made it with reference to reading aids called reading trackers.
It seems to be used for dyslexia, visually impaired people, and when the eyes are slippery or unable to concentrate well.
