Extension summary

Open-Dyslexic is a font created to increase readability for readers with dyslexia.

This extension overrides all fonts on web pages with the OpenDyslexic font and formats pages to be more readable.

Your brain can sometimes do funny things to letters. OpenDyslexic tries to help prevent some of these things from happening. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to add a kind of "gravity" to each letter. You are able to quickly figure out which part of the letter is down because of this feature. It aids in recognizing the correct letter and sometimes helps to keep your brain from rotating them around. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent confusion by flipping and swapping.

Yay! finally someone cares about dyslexic people. There are some things taht are mising tho... some websites dont have the font but other than that this app is awsome and helps me

When I am reading it helps me to read at a normal pace and not mix up lines and letters the one major issue I have is that it gets rid of the letter F and replaces it with a box.
