What happens in the video

The recording is silent, with no narration to caption. Four things happen, in order:

At 0:00, the page before ClearRead: dense paragraphs, small default text, and a busy layout with nowhere for the eyes to rest.
About 20 seconds in, Reader Line switches on: a highlighted band moves down the page, dimming everything except the line being read.
About 40 seconds in, Focus Mode switches on: the surrounding page fades under a dark overlay, leaving only the paragraph being read at full brightness.
About 1 minute in, a block of jargon-heavy text is run through the AI Simplifier and replaced, in place, with a shorter, plain-language version.
