NeuroSafe Reader

NeuroSafe Reader transforms any website into a calmer, clearer reading experience — designed specifically for people with ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum conditions, and sensory processing sensitivity.

The web is built for everyone but optimised for no one. Busy layouts, auto-playing videos, cookie banners, sidebar noise, and clashing colours create significant cognitive load for neurodivergent users. NeuroSafe removes that friction.

────────────────────────────── WHAT IT DOES ──────────────────────────────

TYPOGRAPHY

• Switch to Atkinson Hyperlegible — a font designed for low vision and dyslexia
• Adjust font size (14–26px), line spacing (1.4–2.4), and letter spacing
• Larger text, more breathing room, less cramping

BACKGROUND

• Cream — warm, soft off-white (recommended for dyslexia)
• Grey — neutral, reduces glare
• Dark — low-contrast dark mode
• Original — leave unchanged

HIDE DISTRACTIONS

• Adverts and tracking elements
• Social share buttons
• Comment sections
• Sidebars and related posts
• Popups and cookie banners (including dynamically injected ones)

MOTION & FOCUS

• Stop all animations and auto-playing video
• Reading progress bar — a thin teal line shows how far through an article you are
• Paragraph highlight — a gentle yellow tint on the paragraph under your cursor guides your eye
• Paragraph ruler lines — faint separators between paragraphs help maintain place

────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ──────────────────────────────

One master toggle turns it on or off for the current page. All individual settings can be adjusted independently. Use the "Override" button to save different settings for specific websites — a news site might need sidebars hidden but a reference site doesn't.

Settings save automatically and persist across sessions.

────────────────────────────── PRIVACY ──────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────── MINIMUM FIREFOX VERSION ──────────────────────────────
