2022-08-03	Erminio Balliani		Not bad, but "Chrome Font Super Enhancer" extension gives better results
2021-10-09	R S		How to know it's darkened the text? Why no indicator to indicate that it did it? E.g. like highlight the icon in some way. Cuz I saw no change in text at a few sites tried. Google chrome has GREY text, not pure black like in Slim Browser etc.. So does this make the grey text black? Plus, the totally off-topic vulgarity in his description in the Chrome Web Store creates a bitter association/memory etc. It totally put me off this thing. Good riddance.
2021-01-20	Amr Essam		Thanks a lot for this extension. Very useful. Many Many Thanks!
2020-02-14	Bob Sander-Cederlof		I have to use this frequently, because a lot of site developers seem to think it is beautiful to color text gray on a gray background, making it almost impossible to read. I only wish it would always work. Some sites this extension doesn't work.
2019-06-10	Jess Hennan		How have I only found this this late in life? I like this a ton. So simple.
2019-04-28	Andre i		not working anymore
2018-09-30	Jeanine Weintz		Helps tremendously! Yes, not all sites work because this program is dependant on how the individual site html code is written, but for those that do work, it's wonderful. It helped in Gmail, which was nice. Grey is here to stay so this is a necessary app. I'm glad it is available. Note: I am typing this in black, yay!
2018-02-08	Jessica Salmonson		I wish it turned on automatically and had options like making text a little bit bold. I'd also lt if it would darken more text and not just some. (It won't darken all the text. :( I miss the Blacken extension.If you know what that one was then please cop-cat it. Begs you
2018-01-27	Edwin Yip		Wow! Just what I needed, those low contrast gray fonts hurt my eyes. One suggestion -how about add an option checkbox called something like 'Auto darken', when it's ticked it will automatically darken the text for every new loaded page? Note, this must be an option, when it's not checked, just work as usual.
