Rated 2 out of 5
by JKT, 2 years agoTo others having issues getting it to work: You have to go to the puzzle piece in your upper right corner to reveal the Extensions pulldown. Then go to Bionic and choose "Pin to toolbar". Once you do this, you'll have the controls that the author is asking us to use. Hope this helps others.
As for how well it works, it is incompatible with posting on social media. On both Reddit and Twitter as you type your post, it moves the insertion point back to the beginning of the sentence. This is a deal-breaker for me.

Developer response
posted 2 years ago- You have to click on "ALL" or "THIS SITE" button (on top of the GUI) to enable bionic reading style. I disabled them on default because I don't like the intrusive way of using a new extension.
- Use "DYNAMIC" button to enable dynamic loading of bionic style. This will reduce memory usage by A LOT on web pages with a huge amount of text. However, you may see the text changing as you scroll down or up too fast.
For more information, please read the "Help" tab.
Update:
- I have released a new version with bug fix for websites that use "contenteditable" attribute in text editor.
- Thanks for reporting this bug. I have never used this extension outside of reading books and articals... my bad :D!
