User reviews
Stupendous! Makes walls of text so easy to read. Even BETTER, after switching to Edge it's still installed and working in Edge without even having to reinstall from the Edge Addons site (where it is not found anyhow)!
I'm using the latest Chrome build, the extension doesn't work. (no context menu item)
Works utterly and extremely well. Does a really good job of identifying paragraphs. It's just great.
