Summary

Are you tired of tiny, thin, gray text on websites that's virtually unreadable? BeefyText lets you set a minimum (or maximum) font weight and size for the page you are viewing, and lets you override the color of the text on the page.

In Version 1.0, changes are reset whenever the page is refreshed, but a later version will allow saving per-site settings.

It works, but it doesn't remember settings.

Doesn't work at all I moved around the sliders and saw no changes. :(

Great extension for those with less than perfect eye sight!
