Better Text View Firefox

Better Text View

Makes website text larger and readable.

Features & Capabilities

Small text on a screen of device takes less pixels than larger text, causing loss of clarity and definition of text. If this small text is enlarged, the page and website becomes easily readable (especially for far-sight condition of eyes). This extension enlarges text and makes text colors a contrasting black / white color. Text contrast can be increased by the 'Strength' slider, with high positive values making text more black / white and negative values keeping text color unchanged. The strength slider also determines the Zoom %, with default zero strength giving 175% (1.75) zoom value. The text size is increased inversely depending on its size. This means small sized text is made much bigger than larger text, which is slightly increased in size. All text within size of Threshold setting is increased in size with text closer to Font Threshold size increasing less than text much lower size than Threshold, depending of Font Increase % setting. Text size of ANY TEXT IS NOT DECREASED to less than its normal size. Smaller text becomes as large as (or larger than) text of Threshold size. Text near the Threshold size is unchanged or changed very slightly.

Additional 'experimental' feature is 'Reverse colors' which makes a light theme-ed page into dark theme by using CSS 'filter : invert' property. This has a lot of known-and-unknown bugs in implementation so it is recommended to use it by trial-error and custom CSS rules.

Is Better Text View Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Text View requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Better Text View may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
