See a Glimpse

A quick look at how the add-on improves lookup, playback, sharing, and control.

Lookup + Reading

01

Faster Reading and Navigation

Open content from document IDs, keep key actions visible while scrolling, and see language availability at a glance.

How It Works

One Add-On, Three Layers Working Together

On supported pages, the add-on follows your saved settings, runs the features available to you, and adjusts as the page changes.

Layer 1: Checks your settings

Your Control Panel choices are saved in your browser. Before a feature runs, the add-on checks that it is turned on and that its requirements are met.

Layer 2: Keeps up with page changes

The add-on keeps active features up to date as the page changes, so they continue to work with the content you are viewing.

Layer 3: Adds tools alongside existing controls

Features add tools alongside the website’s existing controls. You can turn them off in the Control Panel and continue using the website as usual.

Control Panel

Manage Your Features

Open a supported website, then click the add-on icon in your browser toolbar to open the Control Panel.

Features are grouped by category. Click a feature’s name to view its description, instructions, and notes, and use its ON/OFF switch to control whether it can run.

Your choices apply across supported websites in this browser. Features unavailable on the current website or device remain in their category and show N/A.

Settings are saved automatically in your browser. When you change a feature’s switch, affected open pages reload to apply the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scope, Updates, and Controls

Use this FAQ to understand the add-on’s independent status, feature availability, controls, updates, and consent-related behavior.

No individual feature is guaranteed to remain permanent. Browsers, supported websites, applications, and extension stores can change, so a feature may need to be updated or removed.

JW PubMedia One currently maintains the add-on, but continued availability, compatibility, and maintenance are not guaranteed. Updates may include security fixes, compatibility changes, feature additions, or feature removals.

When an official website adds equivalent functionality, an overlapping add-on feature may be reduced or retired so that the official behavior remains primary.

Read the Privacy Policy to learn how JW Web Add-on handles information, and the Terms of Use for the conditions that apply to its use. Websites used with this add-on are published and maintained by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.
