Description from store

EasyRead is enabled by default. Click the icon to disable or re-enable on a per website basis.

Our research shows that Grade 2-6 low-progress readers read 7% faster (words per minute) in Dyslexie font word-spacing and letter-spacing settings than in standardly spaced Arial font (Marinus et al., in press). More research is needed to examine how these spacing settings influence reading performance of adolescents and adults with reading impairments.

Reference:
Marinus, E., Mostard, M., Segers, E., Schubert, T., Madelaine, A., & Wheldall, K. (In Press). A special font for people with dyslexia: Does it work and if so, why? Dyslexia.

First extension I've rated, I think. Easy, just works on all sites so far. No fiddling. Everything is easier to read, especially given my oversized "monitor"--I'm using a 40" TV right now. Despite fiddling with the settings, website text has been quite fuzzy on it. Tried downloading the extensions which make text bolder, but they actually made the reading experience worse, if anything. But this extension is perfect for my needs

It does as it says, ease on the eyes. Rating it 5 but is it possible to add a feature which can enable easyread on certain websites by default? That would be even better. Thanks.
