It works but the settings menu is broken. This is a simple fix. In the CSS coding of the body for the dropdown, put: 'width: 20rem;' It also makes it so you cannot edit text on whatsapp, not sure about other social media platforms

This is a great accessibility tool, but annoying that you can't control it as the plug in drop down is actually corrupt. Great if the developers could address this!
