Requires login sign in; why? I thought this could be useful, but now, I can't even try it myself, let alone recommend it to colleagues. If anyone has experience with useful extensions that help dyslexia/ADHD, please share those, that'd be helpful.

I have found the fonts at <https://opendyslexic.org/ https://opendyslexic.org/> to be helpful. It is actually harder to read and in turn slows you down, so there are less errors.

  I find these fonts work very well. I saw another method recently that highlights certain letters in a word to be bold and doesnt need to change the font. The test examples were very easy for me to read. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and now can't find it!

    We are working on this for next version. We will also give the ability to set the color as well besides the bold option

  We already provide OpenDyslexic font with other font options as well. Also, we give the ability to increase the font size and bold the font. And spacing options to increase space between lines, words, and even letters. Not to mention the Line Highlighting ruler for focused reading and screen shading

Hello @BossingAround :) we apologize for the inconvenience this caused you :( We are requiring google sign in only to collect feedback from our users regarding improving the extension. Also, to manage subscription to premium features in the coming versions. We are working on a new version now to make the extension doesn't require any login for a week to resolve this issue. So, if the user likes the extension will keep it and if not they can just uninstall it without worrying about sharing their email address with us

  Why Chrome-only? I don't use Chrome.

    Which browser do you use on daily basis? Chrome is the most popular web browser that's why we are focusing on it at the moment. We have an Edge version (https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/read-easy-dyslexia-adh/hinaankffeaehkhgdiljhepdlinekogo https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/read-easy-...) but it doesn't have all the current features. We plan to to add more browsers support as soon as our extension gets into stable state
