- Rated 4 out of 5by Melyssa, a year agoThis has helped me a lot. My only is issue is that doesn't work on course websites that open as an extension of the original website. It will reload the page, but not change the text or turn on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17948781, a year agoLet me thank Jaymes for his simple yet so useful extention, tho it would be even more awesome if it could handle Arabic fonts, the only problem is that, it disconnects words in half since arabic glyphs usually connect to each other in order to make words
- Rated 3 out of 5by SerialScaresMe, a year agoOnly works on simple websites, but does not work with my school website. I would be happy to send screenshots/html code to help fix the issue but I see no where to do that.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17927559, a year agoGood, but annoying that you have to manually turn on, especially when I'm reading

- Rated 4 out of 5by omnom143, 2 years agoworks in a lot of sites, except for my online school site, which is the only site i need it on. this wouldnt be an issue if they gave us accessibility options but clearly they dont care about nirodivergent people

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17859307, 2 years agoextension ruins formatting on certain pages, leaving them unusable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by scoot, 2 years agoDefinitely agree with those that say that it only works on certain websites. For example, for some of my online classes that give us online textbook through a third party website platform works about 50% of the time.
One of the sites, Cengage, doesn't work at all. The textbook just goes blank when I turn on the half bold. Pearson textbook works, but the images disappear and I'm not able to use the side bar features like search and table of contents. I rate it 4 stars because I do like this idea and its uses everywhere else and because I understand that these school websites can have firewalls inhibiting plug ins to affect their site to prevent cheating and such. But if there is any way to change this to bypass this, that would be awesome! - Rated 4 out of 5by sex, 2 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17850037, 2 years agoIt works on 70% of website, but you have to manually turn it on for every single website which gets annoying.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nath, 2 years agoDoes exactly what it is meant to do, I feel much more focused when reading stuff on my screen
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexandria, 2 years agoIt's beautiful! Also saw this from tiktok. Like another reviewer mentioned, the app is amazing and makes reading very easy. It does break some websites and like deletes images from some sites or removes built in pdfs. I also wish it could stay on by default, and change pdfs, though I now that is easier said than done. Thank you for making this!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Hobbes, 2 years agoIt works pretty well and does as advertised. However, it breaks certain websites to the point where it needs to be turned off in order to browse the website normally.
