Note:  Firefox and Microsoft Edge both have a built-in reader which works with Zoot.  Google Chrome does not currently have a built-in reader so you must install an extension.  The Mecury reader extension is recommended for use with Zoot.  Whichever extension you choose, it must respond to the Ctrl+R hotkey in order to work with Zoot. To override this setting and use a browser extension in Firefox and Edge, choose Tools | Options from Zoot’s main menu and click the Browser tab.
