User reviews

Font Contrast makes YouTube unusable. The screen is filled with black and white circles and rectangles or squares.  So every time I want to use YouTube, which in my case is fairly often, I have to first disable the extension. Hopefully, the author will fix the issues.

La configurcion mas importante, la que hace verdaderamente efecto es la Bold Text que es lo que oscurece los fonts y que realmente es el proposito de esta extension. Lo que no me gusta es que no es configurable su efecto, no lo puedes ajustar a tu preferencia personal, mas oscuro o mas opaco, etc. Al programador, debe proporcionar lo mas importante de esta extension, suavizar o contrastar los fonts en el Bold Text, que la podamos manejar. Otra sugerencia para usuarios: Pongan al minimo otra configuracion, el Strength, en algunas paginas afecta el Modo Bold Text. Lo demas esta muy bien. Hace el trabajo, me gusta.

It's bugging, hard it isn't providing contrast to text, it's causing some parts of websites to have a gray overlay sometimes the whole page, it's disabling some scripts on websites like on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuula (The search button) it's hiding drop down lins. ACK! Please fix this. Uninstalling for now.
