User reviews

I really needed an extension to help me read - this has helped tremendously!!! The hover-highlight is the best and I like that I can adjust opacity and colour to my needs. Super helpful! 10/10 My ONLY issue is that it's not available on certain sites like youtube or emails (not a fault with the extension, it's with youtube) But a majority of sites have it working! Thank you again :D

Very glitchy. If I scrolled down the highlighter wouldn't align with the text anymore. I couldn't edit the padding of the highlighter either which meant the highlight was too close and as such still hard to read. *note I'm not dyslexic but suffering eye problems for the moment*
