🔍 ABOUT
OpenDyslexic is a free, open-source font designed to make reading easier for people with dyslexia. This extension replaces all fonts on web pages with the OpenDyslexic font, helping to make content more readable.
Sometimes, our brains can play tricks on us, making letters seem jumbled or rotated. OpenDyslexic helps by giving each letter a heavier bottom, adding a sense of "gravity" that keeps them grounded. This unique feature helps you quickly identify the correct orientation of each letter, making reading smoother and more enjoyable.
The distinct shapes of the letters also help prevent confusion and swapping, making it easier to follow the text without getting mixed up.

Latest reviews
- (2025-06-12) Sean Ryal: Love the font, but the formating seems to not allow for icon buttons on websites to remain as normal but instead types out the full icon. For example an "I" icon for Italic will be typed out as "Italic_font" which causes things to layer on websites which sadly makes it unusable for me.
- (2025-06-04) Finn McConnell: works for ADHD too! (for me at least)
- (2025-05-20) Robin Graves: I super love this extension. I have it installed on my work system but as of this morning, 5/20, it is giving text labels for the buttons in GCal. ie keyboard_arrow_up instead of the arrow button
- (2025-05-17) Tylwyth: The font is great, but there seems to be a slight issue in formatting: when you turn on the extension, bold text doesn't remain bold unless you are using the OpenDyslexic Italic. For OpenDyslexic and OpenDyslexic Bold all text appears the same.
- (2025-01-08) Jace Roesner: Amazing!!!
- (2024-11-01) Eileen: Really helped me so much. I didn't have high expectations when I decided to try this out, but it's been such a game changer for me when trying to get school and work stuff done.
- (2024-10-27) Felonius Asseater: VERY MUCH APPRECIATED FWEND
- (2024-10-21) Lauren: Wonderfully helpful. Add a pfd function and I will be in reader heaven.
- (2024-09-10) Hayden: Thank you so much for making this. I cannot stress enough how necessary this is for me, as a college student dealing with a required online textbook that uses an atrociously vague font. Making this free and accessible to all, especially with the extra bold feature, is such a helpful public service to those with visual processing disabilities and/or dyslexia <3
- (2024-06-24) Stuart: Thank you, really helpful.
- (2024-06-19) Hello World: It will be very helpful if also worked with pdf files, can you do that?
- (2024-06-17) Daan: yes, yes, yes this is awesome
- (2024-06-07) Deven Sutcliffe: Just a feature idea - It would be absolutely amazing if this would work on Google Docs.
- (2024-05-25) Amanda Young: It works great for my sister, my main issue is that I can't remove it from my own chrome and it messes with the ui on some websites I visit
- (2024-01-17) Amy Trentalange: This plug in is super helpful, but I wish it worked a little more seamlessly. There are many websites, including this google chrome web store page, which do not display in the font with the plug in activated.

- (2023-10-31) savdebunnies (Sav): Unfortunately doesn't work on the majority of things I look at. Doesn't change any hyperlinks like the titles of Google search results and for some reason doesn't work on the YouTube comments section.

- (2023-10-03) Jaydus T: I love this, it helps me to read/comprehend better. I've notice that it doesn't recognize and/or do well with words that are Italicized or Bolded. Either that or it's just really hard to tell. It also doesn't work with certain sites, for example this website. Certain sites get reverted to the default font. Other than those things, I really like this Extension!

- (2023-08-20) Nettie Markus: I love this extension. It helps me with reading all the source material I have for school. But it's stopped working! No matter what I do I can't get it to change fonts on anything anymore. I uninstall and reinstall, I make sure it's turned "On" and nothing. I hope it's fixed soon!

- (2022-09-22) Cindy Bahl (Cindy): It works for me! I just added the extension. To those who say it doesn't work, try refreshing your browser. Also? When I first turned on the extension, nothing happened. I turned it back off, reloaded the page, then turned it back on. And it works! The kink that I ran into could easily have been due to I literally have 30 tabs open at the moment. Love this extension!
