Works very well, only had to toggle it on, no reset or anything. All other apps were very complicated and did not work at all.
This is a good extension. I just wish there was something like it for PDFs. It doesn't work with all websites, like this page, but it works does work on Wikipedia and many others.
This is great! I was looking for a line reader that worked on pdf's that i have open in chrome, tried a few, and this one does the trick!
