The only one that worked for me. Thanks.

It works great, and the UI is intuitive. How ironic that modern sites don't provide/design for such 'basic' need lol but with bold switch will be even better, and MS has planned to improve the text render so who knows who will end this madness lol

It doesn't work for me. I tried highlighting the text, different websites, nothing happens or changes to make it more readable. With the latest updates to Chrome certain fonts are very hard to read properly because they are thin and somewhat pixelated. The font color, usually grey, doesn't help either if they background is white. I was hoping this would help. Nope. My search continues.
