Screen dimmer and reading aid, may help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading.
Version 2.0.7: Upgrade to Manifest V3
Version 2.0.4: Bug-fixes and updated style.
As well as being a great general purpose screen dimmer, Visor's overlays and point of focus feature may be assistive to users with visual perceptual difficulties such as Dyslexia, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome and Visual Stress.
Whilst research shows results vary from person to person, some users may find that the use of overlays can help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading.
In addition to the traditional overlay method, Visor also employs a point of focus feature, designed to further reduce visual confusions and the tendency to skip lines.
This horizontal focal point tracks your mouse, giving full focus to the content being read, whilst reducing the visual noise of the surrounding page.
Visor requires no special permissions, so must be reactivated with each page load.
Note: This extension will not work on Chrome's start page, options pages or the Chrome web store. This is a restriction of chrome.

This i so helpful with reading articles! I was shocked to see you could play around with all the colors and sizes. (plus darkness.) but sadly, When you turn it darker the whole screen goes darker. i'd love for someone to add the feature where only the outside goes darker and where you put the visor stays lighter. all together this app is really well made!
Great extension, has helped me focus with reading my online textbooks and long articles so that I don't get distracted or lose my place as fast. However, a great number of what I need to read is on a PDF, which Visor doesn't work with at all, doesn't even turn on for me. Additionally, I wish there was a way for the center highlighted section to not also dim when you turn the extension on, since it makes it harder to read and strains my eyes. If these things were fixed, it'd be awesome and very useful, but unfortunately I don't see myself using it that often right now because of these features.
Really buggy, and not a great user interface either.
THANK YOU, I HAVE DYSLEXIA AND ADHD THIS IS SO HELPFUL

This would be great if the extension didn't also dim the highlighted section. disappointing as it could be a perfect alternative to the read & write screen masking tool otherwise...

¡Gran trabajo! es muy simple y me ayuda mucho en mis lecturas dentro de la web. Una pequeña petición sería que se mejore la compatibilidad con los PDF, en el modo de lectura normal y el de pantalla completa. Reitero las felicitaciones, necesitaba de una extensión como esta 😀.
Great work.
Great work.
Love the idea off this extension, let's you focus and reduces eye strain. How do you get it to work on pdfs? I tried to use visor to read an online pdf but the line doesn't seem to follow the cursor, just stays stuck in the middle?

要的就是这种,因为大部分网页根本不需要调整就能正常阅读,长期自动调色还会影响色感。 这个就很好,主动开启自行调整。
is there a keyboard shortcut to turn visor on if there is tell me it will be helpfull for me

Good and helpful, but I have one item of feedback: I wish it was possible to independently adjust the opacity of the background and the reading bar. I'd like the background darker and the reading bar the same color as it was before the extension, but I can't get that right now because there is only and option to adjust them jointly

Sería bueno que se activara para todas las páginas abiertas del navegador, tengo que hacerlo manual en cada página cada vez que abro otra y así, Sería maravilloso si agregaran esa opción!!!
It worked pretty well but after the start of this semester, every time I try to move the bar as I read, it either stays in the middle of the screen or gets stuck on the very top of the page, where the menu bar on most websites sits.

Es muy útil para personas que se no se logran concentrar fácil, como yo. Ayuda a enfocar la vista en determinado punto de lo que se quiera leer, la verdad es que me sorprendí con lo bien que funciona.
It works great but not on pdfs opened in the browser. The extension still kinda works but the highlighted portion doesn't move with my cursor, this problem only happens with pdfs and embedded documents.

The visor follows your mouse it cannot be set at one height. Annoying. Other than that it was great idea.

it just works. Best readability extension that I know. The only one I use apart from Vivaldi browser default read mode features. Visor settings: red green blue contrast height of the point of focus overlay.
