I have an eye tracking problem and I need software like this to read my assignments so please stop paywalling accessibility. This should be FREE FOR STUDENTS!

There is a cost to use this extension which is not made clear in the description. Moreover their pricing plans look like you would be charged twice for using their services on a single browser (Chrome): $55 annually for PDF support $24 annually for web page support The pdf viewing itself is fine as it based on the pdf.js mozilla work (https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js) Worked well for making pdf easier to read with the 5 page free limit. Also works with a dark theme (dark background light text), But after the first 5 pages which are free - the text becomes black on black so its useless for this unless you pay.
