## Description

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.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise Mobile Dyslexic for improving readability and reducing eye strain across most sites. It's fast to load, easy to use, and supports OpenDyslexic well, aiding long-form reading and accessibility. However, there are recurring issues: icons often break or disappear on many sites, Google Docs/Drive pages show compatibility problems, and the default font size can be oversized on some pages. Users would like more font-size control and fewer display glitches.

- Fast to load and generally reliable, with quick, one-click use.
- Strong OpenDyslexic font support, praised as one of the best options for dyslexic users.
- Helpful for long-form reading and overall accessibility.

### Cons

- Icons frequently break or disappear on various sites (often appearing as broken icons or boxes).
- Poor compatibility with Google Docs/Drive pages (does not function or disrupts Google services).
- Default font size can be too large on some sites, causing layout issues; users want a font-size control.
