Does work, but can break formats on some sites, takes a bit to load, and the settings menu is completely unusable.

Would be perfect if you had the ability to disable for some pages but the extension settings pop-up isn't coded correctly and only a little sliver is visible, unable to access an on/off function. This extension is super helpful on bodies of text but crashes tabs with lots of broken up text, such as online store search results. Very helpful when reading paragraphs though! Please fix the pop-up so we can turn this extension off for some pages!!

Works great so far! Only thing is that when clicking on the extension icon, I can't see anything other than a sliver of text and arrow to select some color related thing (not sure what it does since I cannot see much). If this could be fixed that would be great!
