Text Zoom to increase font sizes Extension

You don´t want to lose your eyesight while reading texts online?

⚠️ Rest your eyes! Increase poorly legible texts on websites with Text-Zoom.

⚙️ These are the core functions of Text-Zoom:
✅ Adjusting font size to your needs
✅ Widget with a slider, that can be blend in and out on the left side of the screen, to quickly increase and decrease the font size with the mouse
✅ Remembering your favorite settings for each domain
✅ Turning on and off for each domain
✅ Shortcuts with ALT (for Mac-Users the option-key)
▶︎ ALT+ to increase
▶ ALT- to decrease
▶ ALT0 for RESET
\t
🎯 target group
★ Surfers who want to save their eyes: all online users, that want to increase texts to read more easily to protect their eyes
★ Heavy Readers: no long rows of texts on large that can be exhausting (e.g. like increasing font size with the shortcut STRG+)

⚠️ Remark
As many other extensions, our chrome extension needs access to the website in order to blend in the ZOOM slider widget and such that the software can increase the font size. We at abilitools see ourselves as supporters of digital accessibility. Thus we guarantee that no data is retrieved
