User reviews
It works in some pages, but in some do not I also wish it was automatic instead of having to click the extension for it to work


Works on most webpages quite well, but I do wish I could control the strength of the bolding! sometimes it has a negative effect as the bold is too strong. Using it in conjunction with EasyReader makes reading a scientific paper much easier and enjoyable though. If I could alter the strength of bolding this would be 5 stars
