Weighted Read Assist: Customize Text Elements on Webpages
Weighted Read Assist is a free Chrome add-on developed by mikkelbruunibsen. It falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. The aim of this program is to improve readability by allowing users to modify text elements on any webpage according to their preference.
With Weighted Read Assist, users can tweak properties such as font family, size, weight, and color. Additionally, experimental methods of highlighting parts of words are available to increase readability. While this extension is not specifically targeted towards mitigating any particular type of reading difficulty, it is inspired by the developer's own experience of reading with ADHD. The developer is sharing it in the hopes that it may help others as well.
It's important to note that Weighted Read Assist is still in the early BETA stage. Planned updates include improved usability, more lenient permissions, support for additional languages, and other enhancements. Feedback is welcome and can be provided at
