J Verhoog 2025-08-08: Good idea, but has some bugs..
qi wang 2025-05-27: it shows no effect on my side. Macbook, chrome.
Leman Eda Kut 2025-05-19: as a designer, I used this to create a more visible menu
Michael Johnson 2024-11-29: I think this is good. While I respect the previous comment around the person feeling humiliated by the ADHD representation, I don't feel that way and I have a moderate to severe ADHD diagnosis. I feel that any reference to the condition, particularly in lighthearted way, may actually encourage people to talk about it, so I don't mind. I am also colourblind and while the representation is perhaps a bit over-the-top (although I'll never really know!), again, it's spotlighting a condition and scenario, which will hopefully be talked about and referred to afterwards.
GnoxNahte 2023-08-31: Good selection of disabilities, would be better if can change the severity of it, for example, change severity of far-slightness

Matthew 2023-02-27: This is not a realistic depiction of disabilities. I have some of the ones that this suite includes, and in my opinion, this extension is a mockery of them. It is so blunt and unsophisticated. "People with ADHD get distracted. Let's have a bunch of **** flashing on screen."

Kateřina Holubová 2022-02-16: Cool plugin, thanks! Deafness (= mute videos, esp without subtitles) would be a great addition.

Ghost LaBrie 2021-02-09: I have ADHD myself, and when I clicked on the concentration option to see if it was accurate or not; (for me) it was pretty accurate.

DigitalAmoeba 2020-12-29: Great free no-ads extension that offers simulation and explanation of emulating a range of Sight, Mobility, Reading and Concentration disabilities by manipulating the display of any web page within Chrome or Edge Chromium. Great for visually demonstrating accessibility needs and/or doing some basic early testing.

Joppe Kroon 2019-10-25: it has a good selection of different disability simulations, it has in fact replaced two plugins I used previously. Loving the sunshine simulation, I hope this one will help people see the benefit of thinking about accessible design for everyone.
