For many users, the Chrome browser renders these fonts too lightly, and in some case they're very difficult to read. This add-on has an intelligent function that calculates the exact amount of darkness to apply to characters (based on their color and luminance), which results in a perfect rendition.

Mediocre at best. While this extension is (slightly) better than nothing it still falls extremely short. It doesn't always work in Chrome. In contrast, it works well in Edge. This extension lacks the user control/ability to darken (manually) within the options. But the real issue is why website developers are choosing to go with light,thin fonts in the first place. Who's bright idea was this? Maybe Apple way back then? More websites are using whitish backgrounds and light thin faults. People should be complaining to the site developers. Anyway I feel I'm being very generous today and giving it 1.5 stars, rounded up. It actually deserves one, but I'll leave it at two.
