• (2020-09-12) Dung Doan: It would be wonderful if the saved profile also included background and text color. Apart from that, great and useful extension!
• (2020-09-11) Yến Vy Nguyễn: It works great but It hide some Italic words which I want to read
• (2020-09-01) Dat Dinh: This extensions has made reading much better and more enjoyable before. On some of the sites I read literature on, because of the text and background colour, I would have to strain my eyes to read. After using Alphatext, I no longer have to strain my eyes, allowing me to read without hurting my eyes.
• (2020-06-25) RICHARD S: Excellent tool that is easy to use and works properly on all but a few web sites. Too bad it is not compatible with Opera even with the Chrome Extension enabler installed.
• (2020-01-25) Deepak Bhoria: Does great job of single click background and font changes ... saves my eyes after hours of reading.
• (2019-12-27) Susan Colvin: AlphaText is definitely one of the greatest readability-enhancing extensions I know. That said, adding a few more options would make it perfect in my opinion : - More size values (for some reason, the devs didn't add more values between 20px and 24px, which is a puzzling choice. 22px-23px is precisely the range I need for most of my readings.) - More customizing options for the background and the text's colors (the available grey's option is too dark, while the beige one is too bright for my eyes ) Other than that, it's a great tool. I highly recommend it.

• (2019-05-04) Derek Nesnah: Although it does make some changes that are improvements, it just doesn't fix everything - And I often find that increasing the text size affects so much at once, that what was previously two or three frames of info side by side becomes 1 long row of frames.... resulting in the part I was trying to read moving from the right margin to 70% down the page. Obviously due to padding & size settings within these frames. What would be Ideal would be to first select an area of the text that is difficult to read, and then click on the extension button, where the option to adjust just the similarly formatted text of that section/frame OR All text similarly formatted. that way when the heading is in bold and an agreeable font and size, but the body is unreadable you don't have to also affect the size and formatting of the page everywhere..
• (2019-02-21) Lance Jordan: Thank you! Nice features, easy to use. One wish was for auto-update on dynamic sites. But nice work here!
• (2018-09-30) Turbcool: 4 stars, it could be better. Could use more fonts and ability to set custom text size. Also i need more profiles (5), ability to name profiles. Hotkeys to activate profiles. Overall, good extension.
• (2018-09-12) Jerri Tan: Easy to use and really helps with reading lots of articles!
• (2018-07-08) Enrique Agüeros: Amaizng, it would be highly useful to add shortcuts to the predefinied profiles
• (2018-04-03) Gersivan Oliveira: Recomendada para estilizar fontes de páginas web rapidamente.
• (2018-03-12) Madeline Gleich: Could be 5 stars if dev provided a way to be reached. I want to make a profile in which I enlarge the text and set 1.2 line spacing and I would like this to be a permanent profile. But it seems I HAVE TO? choose a font rather than use the site font? Lots of potential
• (2018-01-05) Kate Williams: Works well, no problems. The answer to terrible typography.
• (2017-12-15) Radhika Morabia: Perfect for making every web page readable. The only addition I would like is if I could also bold text.
• (2017-10-23) Best of this class. Easiest to use, permits more combinations than most others. Color-coded control interfaces are cool. Wish "quick control" and "options" panels themselves enlarged with control-plus. Changes I'd like: - Larger font -- 32 is when things *start* to be legible - Bold font -- Supplied fonts don't provide enough contrast - saving BG and txt colors in profile, or at least having that choice stick until changed again
• (2017-08-28) Donal Goggin: Trying this out for my Dad with vision loss. Its great and easy to use but one simple option I can't seem to find is the ability to bold text. Would be perfect otherwise
• (2017-07-20) Kenny D: Works fast and efficient. I can save multiple formats, and change with a click.
• (2017-06-07) Lina: This works well but doesn't have all the features that I was looking for. However the format of it is perfect so I was wondering if it's possible to add a 'change case' option as well? I have a hard time reading all caps.
• (2017-05-22) antonio cesar solano: It was usefull for me. I use it and I will continue because I liked it
• (2017-02-11) Hatem Albordeini: thank you so much
• (2017-01-30) Alan Bleier: Works well. Not sure if it can automatically apply a profile to all pages, which is something I would like.
• (2017-01-13) Chuck Landress: A great tool especially since web designers have been reducing contrast on web sites for a while now. Some are very hard to read. The only issue I have is that recent updates now work very slowly. I click the extension icon and then wait a while for it to display.
