It works but doesn't remember your settings. If I open the menu, select a radio button from both categories (color blindness and vision loss), then close the menu, if I open the menu back up, the radio button choices are not correct. It goes back to "none" for both categories even though the filter is still applied.

This plugin has come in handy when testing websites. I agree with another reviewer that being able to move the menu as well as keeping it displaying even after tapping on page. Update these two and I'll update my review to 5 stars.
