Chrome Font Super Enhancer Extension

Chrome Font Super Enhancer is an add-on to increase the readability of texts in Chrome, especially in those websites which use thin fonts.
For many users, the Chrome browser renders these fonts too lightly, and in some case they're very difficult to read.
This add-on has an intelligent function that calculates the exact amount of darkness to apply to characters (based on their color and luminance), which results in a perfect rendition.

NEW in v2.10: Dark mode support!
NEW in v2.11: Fallback for dynamic content!
NEW in v2.12: Auto page refresh when changing options!
NEW in v2.13: Fix for bad rendering in Google search form
NEW in v2.14: Added unlock code field (in options) to remove Paypal button after donation. You'll receive the unlock code to your Paypal address.
NEW in v2.15: Fix for Google Calendar. Better support for dynamic content pages.
NEW in v2.16: Faster rendering and bugfix.
NEW in v2.17: Text enhancing applied also to INPUT elements

Sanket Khatavkar (ID: 000000774aaf4431) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 Thanks a lot for this very useful extension. It helps eyes due to the enabling of crisper darker text.

In the past there was a slider to control the darkness, I removed it because almost unnecessary, too much darkness gave bad results. Maybe I'll implement it again in the future. Drag back the slider to make the letter darker.

Norma Cooney (ID: 0000004110e1c37f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/23/2023 I really like this ext also. I have such a horrendous time trying to read these ridiculous grey fonts. There are a couple of things I would like to mention. For months now my past events in Google Calendar were not dimming and it was frustrating trying to find an answer. DUH!! it's this extension. It hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. I turned it off and my calendar was acting like it should. I did try to put that into the extension but it still does it so obviously I'm doing something wrong. The other thing I wanted to mention as well as making font darker it would be awesome if the outlines of boxes you need to type in etc could be enhanced. I can't see a lot of those on websites either. It's like a fishing expedition to find them. Why they ever started this idea of light grey font. It's really bad. Thank you.
