User reviews

Not as immediate and gratifying as Dyslexie or the Open Extension for Chrome.

It doesn't work on many popular site such as anything Google and Facebook. Works ok on forums - thus three stars, but it needs to work everywhere to be useful.

Great easy simple tool! Suggestion, add a shortcut to enable or disable it.
