Amazing add
by Andre Woods, 2024-04-11
I am writing this review after seeing the 1 star review. Even made an account for it. I have been using this addon for a while on vanilla FireFox, but also have just added it to LibreWolf (Basically a more secure version of FireFox). This seems to be the only dyslexia add-on that works on LibreWolf, which I honestly do not mind, as this add-on hasn't let me down yet. The text is easy to read, and more importantly to myself, its as easy to use as adding it and turning it on. While I do not have the technical know-how to verify how safe this add-on is, I personally trust and will continue to use it. Additionally, if you're anything like me, this is also useful for those who have difficulty reading but do not have dyslexia. Such as poor vision, astigmatism, visual snow, so on and so forth.
