Mobile Dyslexic is a Chrome extension that enhances web readability for people with dyslexia by replacing all fonts on web pages with a carefully crafted, dyslexia-friendly font. This font features weighted bottoms and increased letter spacing, helping users better recognize individual letters and their orientation. The extension is based on the OpenDyslexic typeface and supports Firefox for Android, making it one of the first mobile platforms to consider dyslexic readers.

Once installed, Mobile Dyslexic activates automatically and can be toggled on or off via a convenient "D" button on desktop or the main menu on mobile. While it enforces a uniform dyslexia-friendly font across all content, it attempts to avoid replacing special glyph fonts to minimize display issues. Users are encouraged to provide feedback if they encounter any font replacement problems to improve compatibility.

User reviews

Mobile Dyslexic is a simple, fast, and effective Firefox add-on that formats text using an open dyslexic-friendly font, significantly improving reading comfort for dyslexic users. While many praise its ease of use and focus-enhancing benefits, multiple reviews mention issues with disappearing or broken icons on various websites and occasional compatibility problems with MacBooks and YouTube. Some sites also restrict font loading due to security policies. Overall, it is one of the few reliable open dyslexic fonts accessible as a browser add-on, with room for improvements on website UI compatibility and Mac support.

Pros

Effectively changes website fonts to the OpenDyslexic font, improving readability for dyslexic users.
Fast loading and easy to use with a one-click toggle.
Helps users read and focus better on long articles and textbooks.
Simple interface without unnecessary features.

Cons

Causes icons or UI elements to disappear or display incorrectly on some websites (e.g., Google Docs, Outlook, Gmail, Google Calendar).
Does not work properly on MacBooks for some users.
Incompatibility or freezing issues reported on YouTube with this extension enabled.
Some websites have restrictions (Content Security Policy) that prevent the font from loading properly, notably Twitter and BBC News layouts being trialed.
