Broken plugin- can't access menu when you click on it only shows a glitched few-pixel strip. Also forces open drop-down menus whenever they appear on a website and you can't close them.
Left click, dropdown menu layout is messy When going to https://www.deepl.com and clicking the "Hyper Bold" button, the page doesn't display.
It works but the settings menu is broken. This is a simple fix. In the CSS coding of the body for the dropdown, put: 'width: 20rem;' It also makes it so you cannot edit text on whatsapp, not sure about other social media platforms
This is a great accessibility tool, but annoying that you can't control it as the plug in drop down is actually corrupt. Great if the developers could address this!
Does work, but can break formats on some sites, takes a bit to load, and the settings menu is completely unusable.
Would be perfect if you had the ability to disable for some pages but the extension settings pop-up isn't coded correctly and only a little sliver is visible, unable to access an on/off function. This extension is super helpful on bodies of text but crashes tabs with lots of broken up text, such as online store search results. Very helpful when reading paragraphs though! Please fix the pop-up so we can turn this extension off for some pages!!
Works great so far! Only thing is that when clicking on the extension icon, I can't see anything other than a sliver of text and arrow to select some color related thing (not sure what it does since I cannot see much). If this could be fixed that would be great!
I've only tried it on 1 website, but I found that the ratio of bold text to regular text to be off. The majority of the text was bold and therefore it didn't work as well as the example .
so far, no issues! im using this for fanfic and book sites such as ao3, wattpad, etc etc to make reading the long paragraphs easier. it works great. i usually end up rereading the same lines over and over again and i havent done it once with this addon, its really helping me to focus more and stop "read stuttering" lol. i really recommend. it fulfills its purpose and i havent had any issues with using it.
Amazing, thank you for this.
Works really well on all websites.
I have found that this extension works the best, and it activates automatically with every tab opened. Very user-friendly and has made work a lot easier. I only wish it could come as a font as well for docs!

It worked fine for a while but now I can't even access its menu to activate it. There's some sort of compatibilty problem maybe ? When I click the icon on Chrome, only a very thin rectangle shows, a fraction of the usual activation menu and settings.

Some of the web apps stopped function properly like telegram and linkedin. When I tried to disable it on the website it didn't work the setting didn't save and on the refresh the option to disable was available again.

I want to like this extension but unfortunately, it causes a bunch of problems with headings and such displaying properly. Ex: Youtube videos have incorrect titles and an app I frequently use has wrong information displayed. I don't know why it has this issue but it makes it unusable for me.

It doesn't work on the PDF files that i open from the browser. If possible, fix that and it would be perfect.

I will give 5 starts only when the following bug is fixed: there is an option in the extension to store sites on which to disable the extension but it does not work. It is very annoying for example to have the extension active on sites like Amazon, where readability is highly compromised and at the moment I am forced to manually turn the extension on and off.

The plugin seems to not work on Coursera. Nearly every word has all its characters bolded, which defeats the purpose of the plugin. It does fortunately work on other mediums like news articles, however.

The reading part is incredible tho... when the extension enable on twitter it writes ?? in reverse order? Eg. if i type "This extension is nice", it would end up as "ecin si noinetxe sihT"

Works really well for site data, shows everything on the site while the other "Half Bold" extension seems to have a problem displaying the site data properly outside of simple text. This extention has helped me focus so much more!

Started using it and it was FANTASTIC.... but started to realise there is a lot of bugs. It seemed to drain the usage on some sites but the biggest fault is that i use a lot of gsheets and it changes the entire behavior of the website. I tried disabling it on gsheet websites but it didn't work. i just had to disable the extension to be able use gsheets. Shame as it's an awesome concept!

PERFECT when you are reading stuff. Horrible and annoying when you have to type on a pop-up window on a website (try typing a tweet when you are on your fyp, try to disable the extension on twitter.com, did it just enable itself again? yeah thought so)

An amazing extension. Unfortunately I have to keep going into settings and disabling it due to it slowing a few sites down to a crawl. This extension makes sites like Amazon or Thingiverse completely unusable.
