| 2024-10-18 |  | | en | it doesn't work or take me to the page that I can input what I need to read. Tried to play around with the extensions and settings and it doesn't improve anything. Is there a way to make it work properly? |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | en | Excellent tool to create visual fixation on large bodies of text and make articles easier to read. I love that it it so customisable and that you can download the processed text to PDF to keep as reference for later. The extension is pinned to my task bar! |
| 2024-10-11 |  | | en | so inconvenient and doesn't work when trying to read university papers |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | en | Does not work. At all. Not anywhere. |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | en | It's unnecessarily inconvenient. You have to press the pinned extension every time you want to use it on each page. Instead of simply changing the in-site html text, the extension re-writes the whole site to where it's basically their own site running on the actual site's domain. A better solution would be to have auto-activation on every site and to only edit the text of the site instead of giving the site ugly digital surgery. |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | en | (EDIT) Thanks to other user Songlin Zhao, you have to pin it and then on each page you go, you need to click the icon, this then loads the page into Bionic Reading! I also not able to get this working. I tried to play with some settings but no luck. Restarted chrome completely and even did an chrome update. Nothing. I remove it from chrome and even report it as non trustworthy. |
| 2024-09-01 |  | | en | Of course the plugin only works properly on the sites that you open after the installation, if you just install it and test it on the pages you opened earlier, nothing will happen. Just refresh the page. BTW, works on most sites, does not work on this site though. |
