Nick Lowery (ID: 000000baa35a10c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/13/2023 Love it so far. Clean implementation on the sites I regularly use it on, and the ruler feature is great.

Brendan Cremers (BsCremers) (ID: 0000008d52cfe820) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 good extention, like it. but the thing what puts me off is i like dark mode on a lot of websites and the high contrast mode will mess up the whole website. mabey it is nice to have a way to toggel high contrast mode on and off.

Zelia teodor (ID: 0000003855371166) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/11/2023 Je recommande, Je suis dyslexique depuis des années, on m'a parlé de la police d 'écriture "open dyslexic" je ne pensais pas que ça allais me faciliter à ce point la lecture. En plus le "Ruler" (un ligne qui prends tout votre écran) est une très bonne idée. Je vous conseil de l'essayer. I recommend, I have been dyslexic for years, I was told about the "open dyslexic" font I didn’t think it would make it that easy for me to read. In addition, the "Ruler" (a line that takes all your screen) is a very good idea. I suggest you try it.

Snow Riley (ID: 000000a288d02492) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/21/2021 Works well, but I only want the ruler and there's no way to turn the font changer off without turning off the ruler as well.
