2023-03-20 | Jens Fridsen | Works as expected and is really useful. Just wanted a quick way to switch on and off. | ||
2022-07-20 | Chelsea Kingzett | I can't figure out how it works! It seems like a great extension based on the demo site but in't user intuitive. Could someone help me explain how to use the extension? Thanks1 | ||
2021-01-27 | weiqi sun | 简直太适合我这种不选中不能阅读星人了! | ||
2015-10-16 | Joey Aste | this is great cause it helps with me having cataracts. Plus I'm a coder too so it now helps with that also TY | ||
2015-03-25 | Aaron Artille | Great idea from a hugely talented interactive media developer/designer, however the execution here is not what I was hoping for. If this extension is open source, will see if I can help to address some minor annoyances with it. The main gripe I have is that it cues when I select portions of text within input fields to be edited or copied, and so e.g. this has caused issues with Facebook chat if I want to select all and delete (happens often in cases where the question I am about to ask is answered before I send the question -- great minds think alike). Rating 5/5 because I'm not sure that other people would have this issue and I want to show some support for the developer. Hopefully the annoyances can be worked out! If not, it was free anyway so not really that worried about it. | ||
2014-10-15 | Zhiheng Lin | Great job and would be perfect if there was an option to set the plugin disabled on some sites. | ||
2014-07-06 | 未知未知 | But how to change the background color of selected words? 怎么改变已选文字的背景颜色? | ||
2014-05-18 | João Santos Dias | This tool is awesome! I use it in my classes, to just show what I want of a document. Is it possible to use 100% opacity and, most off all, the possibility of manually defining the space to show? Thank you! | ||
2014-05-05 | luca | 这个 喜欢鼠标覆盖一段文字阅读,把其它地方阴影,想法很妙! | ||
2012-10-11 | Alun Davey | I've always been in the habit of selecting text as I read it, this extension makes the experience almost perfect. Would be nice if there was an option to add a modifier key that would have to be pressed in combination with the mouse drag/double click to trigger it, as I've come across a few instances where it would be desirable not to have the extension kick in. Update: now has modifier key option, awesome! |
