I love the extension and I am so glad you made this. I would give it 5 stars, but I can't seem to find a way to disable it on specific sites. For example YouTube will actually obscure part of the video when this extension is enabled. 🤷‍♂️

Wonderful accessible version! Thank you! I can't get the pdf reader to work but I still love that this is more accessible than other tools like it. Thank you!

Great, but please let us change the key bindings! If you press S to stop your ruler on Reddit, Reddit saves or unsaves a post and breaks the ruler. :(
