I love this extension. It helps me with reading all the source material I have for school. But it's stopped working! No matter what I do I can't get it to change fonts on anything anymore. I uninstall and reinstall, I make sure it's turned "On" and nothing. I hope it's fixed soon!

Great and simple extension. There's a few things on websites that it doesn't work with. Needs the ability to turn if off for individual websites!

It works for me! I just added the extension. To those who say it doesn't work, try refreshing your browser. Also? When I first turned on the extension, nothing happened. I turned it back off, reloaded the page, then turned it back on. And it works! The kink that I ran into could easily have been due to I literally have 30 tabs open at the moment. Love this extension!

It is very good! The only problem is the letter F seems to be missing for me. Why is that?

Jeg skal være ærlig. jeg tror ikke den hjellper dysleksien min. tror den blir værre. pluss så er teksten veldig rar og stygg. men hjelper den deg så er det veldig bra

This is life changing for neurodivergent folks. My entire family is ND. My mother and brother have dyslexia & dyscalculia, my dad and I have ADHD, and possibly autism spectrum disorder. This helps me concentrate and comprehend what I am reading. Thank you for making this!

I'm crying it makes things so easy to read normally reading on y computer gives me headaches and is so frustrating to do. I wish this worked in docs but it makes reading things so easy this is the best

Love this. I can finally read!! I do wish there was a font size option, the Chrome settings don't seem to change it. A little smaller and it'd be perfect!

This extension is okay.. And it has some flaws. Like #1, it does not work on google docs, and when you close the extension it turns into regular text again. So its really wasting my time. Anyways, I gave this extension a 4/5 because people really seem to like it and it does work on other websites. I am also not really a fan of open dyselxic, but the font is kind of cool i guess. thankyou.

A few years ago a friend used the Open Dyslexic font on a powerpoint for kids camp. She is a teacher and said that she always uses it in her classed because you never know who it may benefit. When i saw it i was instantly in love!! Since then i had totally forgotten about the font until last week. I opened the YouVersion Bible app and it said that i had a new font suggestion to install... It was the Open Dyslexic font. I literally cried. This font really is a game changer for dyslexic folks (or at least for me!) Someone told me that i could get an add in on Google Chrome and BAM!!! here i am!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
