What is BeBold?
"BeBold" is a Chrome extension designed as a visual reading aid that bolds the first half of words on webpages, targeting improved focus, especially for individuals with concentration challenges such as ADHD.

Extension summary

The BeBold extension aims to offer a unique visual aid that may help improve focus while reading text on webpages. It works by bolding the first half of each word, providing a distinct anchor point that could help readers follow the content more easily. Although the extension is designed with the idea that it may be helpful for individuals who find it challenging to concentrate, such as those who self-identify as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), it has not been clinically tested or approved for the treatment or diagnosis of ADHD or any other medical condition. By inheriting the color of the parent element, the bold text preserves the original appearance and design of the webpage. Try BeBold and see if this innovative approach to reading suits your style!

Please let me know if any sites you use malfunction while using this extension. If it cannot be fixed, I will promptly remove them from the sites supported by this extension.

Awesome !!

Been using BeBold for a while and it's genuinely helped with my focus. The idea of bolding the first half of words is simple but effective. I appreciate that it keeps the site's look unchanged and just works. Had a minor issue recently but the developer was quick to respond. Great job!
