TorpedoRead Extension

TorpedoRead's innovative method facilitates the eye's journey through text by guiding it with artificial fixation points that force focus only on initial letters as opposed to holistic readings. This removes eye relocation and encourages deeper comprehension than shallow forms of media usually allow.

Vii (ID: 000000102e5fe928) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/10/2022 really helps me with reading lots of text! this is a life-changer! originally i thought the keyboard shortcut was bugged, of course i had to go into my extensions "shortcuts" menu and change the shortcut to be global.... blahh! but it works now!

Alyssa Wada (ID: 0000001f39fecaf9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/11/2022 Given the fact that this extension is so new and still in development, it's already pretty good! There are simply some pages that aren't very compatible with this extension and they actually become harder to read. With the current extension capabilities, I dont see a way to switch back to standard text, meaning I have to reopen that page in a new tab or window to get back to standard text. I would love to see a feature prioritized that adds the ability to revert a page back to standard text after you "Torpedify" it.

Yozakame (ID: 00000089aa36c87d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/23/2022 It doesn't seem to work on d2l lessons which is what i need it on the most unforchantely.

Thomas Seo (ID: 0000002312f09618) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/22/2022 When I first came across this extension I was a little skeptical of how much of a difference it would make but as soon as I gave it a try I was blown away. It definitely helps readers concentrate and read through a sentence, paragraph and even a full-blown article with ease. I use this extension all the time and would definitely recommend it to others.
