ReadingRuler

Based on this script:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/372448-reading-ruler/code

This reading ruler will aid you on reading texts on the internet
It will place a semi-transparent line on your screen, just hit the combination ctrl + r on windows and mac (not the command button but the control button) to activate the ruler, hit the same configuration to remove the ruler

This idea come from the reddit user /u/VectorLightning

I hope you find this extension useful

Releases Notes:
V4.0
Redo of the extension, all the features introduced on V3.1 were causing a lot of bug, surprisingly there are still people using and finding this extension, so I decided to simplify it and make it work on all websites. I hope this update fixes all major issues reported on the feedback page.

Here a list of changes:
- You are not able to set a shortcut anymore, for now these are set by default.
- Windows: ALT + SHIFT + 3
