Dyslexia Font - Easier Reading

Make any page easier to read: dyslexia-friendly font, more spacing, bigger text, and a soft tint. Local, one toggle.

Version
3.0.3

This one is built but not on a store yet. The page is here so you can see what it does.

Dense text set in a tight font is hard on many readers. This applies a dyslexia-friendly reading layer to any page: a rounded, evenly-weighted font plus more space between letters, words, and lines, larger text, and an optional soft page tint that reduces glare.

Turn it on and adjust the sliders until it feels right — your settings are remembered and re-applied. Turn it off and the page goes back to normal. It prefers the OpenDyslexic font if you have it installed and falls back to widely available faces that are easier to read.

Nothing is uploaded and nothing is tracked.
