Make Chrome Text Black Extension

Make Chrome Text Black is a Google Chrome extension that lets you customise how text appears in your browser. Make text darker so you can read websites and email the way you want to.

** THIS EXTENSION HAS A 14 DAY FREE TRIAL AND REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION PURCHASE **

This extension works with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave.

No more grey text.

Are you sick of sites that put grey text against white backgrounds? You're not going blind, you're just suffering from a terrible design trend. You don't need to highlight text just to read it anymore. Change text to black with this extension.

No more tiny text.

Some websites look like they've been written for ants. You can zoom in on the page, but then it zooms in on all the pictures, buttons, icons and turns the page into a cluttered mess. Leave your magnifying glass behind, you can now change text size.

No more thin text.

Ever had to squint with your eyes two inches from the screen because of pencil thin text? All it does is give you is eye strain and headaches. You don't need to worry about this with Make Chrome Text Black. Make text bold and thicker.

No more weird fonts.

How about strange fonts that look closer to ancient symbols rather than letters? They might look cool in a web designer’s portfolio, but not when you’re trying to read them. You can now change the font to something sensible.

Richard L (ID: 000000db515173dd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2023 This has really saved me from a lot of squinting and frustration in reading. Definitely recommend. Thank you

Warwick Keene (ID: 00000055b5d38a49) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2023 Hi - This is a great benefit to me, so leaving my positive review below but want to ask whether the darker text can be turned on for Google geneally? I use Windows 11 and that is clearly meant for eagles and hawks as the type is vanishing small and faint. I will pay a second fee to be able to darken everything. Please respond. Meanwhile for others, my review is below. highly recommended. I have been using this for some months and I could not read my daily onlife newspaper without it. It is well worth the few dollars it costs to be able to read again. I can chooce size and darkness of type - mostly. But when I open the Comments section to read readers' comments, that is in the light font the newspaper uses. Is there some way to make this darker, too? And is there a version I can install for Windows 11?

Jessica Salmonson (darkocean) (ID: 0000006951e60248) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/09/2023 Alright, I can edit this now! My old review was a bit harsh so it's deleted. Do note that this extension isn't free. I personally won't try anything without a free trial. I don't want to hurt the developer so 5 stars in hopes they consider changing things. I'm fine with banner ads in a freebie version. :)

Tim Potts (ID: 000000590ee5e8dd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/03/2022 I purchased this product for my wife to use on her Chromebook so that she could navigate easily. She has severe vision problems that can not be addressed with just the existing accessibility options available. The product was paid for and no email with a product key arrived. I went to the website to obtain the product key and after registering her and then searching for the purchase in every conceivable place, still no product key. An email was sent yet still no response. At this time I will have to either cancel the order and go to the trouble with PayPal to get a refund or just accept that I am out the $27 US dollars for this purchase.

Orion (ID: 0000007c3b4cc57b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/01/2021 There is no way to test the extension, it doesn't work. Writes that you need to enter some kind of license key.
