| 2022-07-11 |  | | Given the fact that this extension is so new and still in development, it's already pretty good! There are simply some pages that aren't very compatible with this extension and they actually become harder to read. With the current extension capabilities, I dont see a way to switch back to standard text, meaning I have to reopen that page in a new tab or window to get back to standard text. I would love to see a feature prioritized that adds the ability to revert a page back to standard text after you "Torpedify" it. | |

| 2022-06-22 |  | | When I first came across this extension I was a little skeptical of how much of a difference it would make but as soon as I gave it a try I was blown away. It definitely helps readers concentrate and read through a sentence, paragraph and even a full-blown article with ease. I use this extension all the time and would definitely recommend it to others. | |
