Recent reviews
So far so good. As N Reilly mentioned, text formatting is messed up on some sites even when ADHD Reader is not activated (i.e. you'll need to fully disable the extension in Chrome temporarily). Posts on Craigslist is a good example of this issue.
That said, it's not the biggest deal and works for most sites I need it for. Still, I recommend the developer either fix this issue or add a feature where we can blacklist certain sites so they're never altered even when deactivated.
That help so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
