LTR-RTL: Switch Web Page Text Direction

LTR-RTL is a handy Chrome extension particularly designed to alter the text direction on web pages. The extension facilitates the user in switching the text direction from the standard left-to-right (LTR) to right-to-left (RTL), beneficial specifically when viewing languages that are traditionally written and read from right to left, such as Hebrew or Arabic. The extension features keyboard shortcuts for quick changes, although these can be customized if already in use. It's worth noting that the extension will only alter the text direction for HTML elements that don't already have a specified language direction.
