Low Vision Webpage Layout Modifier Extension

Enhance your web browsing experience with the web extension designed to prioritise accessibility for individuals with low vision. By installing this tool, you'll benefit from a range of improvements that ensure a simple, consistent and user-friendly experience across various web pages:

3. Distraction-free browsing: enjoy a focused reading experience by hiding all images on the web page, including background images. You can reveal them on hover, giving you greater control over your visual environment.
4. Keyboard-friendly navigation: unlock the power of full keyboard navigation with a solid green frame highlighting the active element. Effortlessly navigate through your favourite websites without relying on a mouse.
5. Optimised font settings: experience clearer and more readable text with a change in font family, size, and colour (Verdana, 16 px, dark green), ensuring enhanced visibility and comfort.
6. Optimal text contrast: Benefit from improved text visibility with a contrast ratio of 7:1, meeting the AAA WCAG standard. This ensures that text stands out crisply against the background, catering to diverse visual needs.

Embrace a more consistent and user-friendly design across various websites with different layouts and make your browsing experience smoother and more predictable.
