User reviews

The concept of Oswald is great but when trying Reading mode (with a bunch of different sites) I get this: This site can’t be reached oswald.ga’s server IP address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN I included your extension in an article I wrote and when I tried it then with some random site as far as I remember it worked fine but now it doesn't. I am almost sure it's not a problem on my side. It redirects to an URL such as this: http://oswald.ga/url.php?url=https://www.maketecheasier.com/useful-browser-extensions-for-senior-citizens/ and then the above mentioned message appears. Any suggestions how to fix this?

I have a problem of photophobic eyes and many websites I access have high contrast colors that hurt my eyes. But Oswald Plugin literally changed my life. Thank you for keeping it free, I sincerely pray that your company become more and more successful :-)

It is really easy to use. It allows you to customise a background colour and font style you would like to use
