Turns the font on all pages into Open Dyslexic on every page AND allows for a wide array of super useful font manipulation tools to help ease the pain of reading online. The font is designed to ease the pains of reading with dyslexia by combatting commonly occurring symptoms. For more information visit opendyslexic.org.
The reading feature lets you tag along while your browser reads to you! If you have a hard time tracking, and loose your place (like I so often do) this feature is designed for you.
