It would have been great, if I could actually toggle it on an off. I don't really need it on all websites.

Generally appreciate the font, easily selects which one I want, however it also messes with the spacing of words and entire page layout. Increases the zoom as well, which in my case is unwanted. I just want to be able to have the font changed and that's all. Sometimes it does forget about which pages it should be turned on for.

I wish there was an option to change the color of the ruler! The gray is too light for me. Also I wish there was an option to make the text bold, it's easier for me to read.

good extention, like it. but the thing what puts me off is i like dark mode on a lot of websites and the high contrast mode will mess up the whole website. mabey it is nice to have a way to toggel high contrast mode on and off.

I kind of like it, but I hate the "dyslexic font", I like the comic sans, but not the other one,andit seems like even when I choose comic sans each page opens in 'dyslexic' and I have to change manually everytime and sometimes doesn't work. Can you change this?
