I love this idea. It doesn't work very well for quoted blocks, esp. code blocks. Sometimes it removes the line breaks. I also doesn't really seem to help much for code anyway since code already has syntax highlighting and isn't structured the same as natural language. I'm not sure if there's a way to generally distinguish code blocks, but if there is, it'd be great to just disable this for those sections. Maybe there could be a way to manually disable for a certain type of section.

This extension does not work. I've tried on PDF files and a plethora of websites. Don't waste your time!

This extension is so helpful to me, moreso even than the OpenDyslexic extension. However, I have to re-enable it on every new page, and it works inconcistently. If it gets fixed, I'll use it every day!

Really great idea, extrmely helpful for someone with dyslexia. however it doesnt work on pdf files opened in chrome and when activated on sites with images it removes them which can be annoying if youre reading articles with graphs or tables in it.

Great extension, so glad this exists! However, the plug-in is inconsistent and does not work on university pages. When it is functional, it does exactly what its supposed to do. Thanks for this!
