| 2024-11-04 | Leonito | | This is great, the only issue I have with it is how domain exceptions are handled when the extension is enabled for all websites: there are no wildcards. This is annoying on sites that have many subdomains, for example all *.arduino.cc sites are buggy with the extension, so it would be a massive time saver to be able to blacklist all of them with a single entry rather than adding each one manually, and would also avoid missing any in the process. |

| 2024-10-19 | EmSixTeen | | Good functionality options when it comes to the actual typography settings it applies, but currently breaks a huge amount of sites. This would benefit *massively* from two things: 1) the ability to provide class names it will apply to, rather than entire domains. 2) the ability to use a picker to select elements it would apply to, or right click and use the context menu to apply to that element (and that choice being saved). |

| 2024-08-26 | Firefox user 18545670 | | I’ve been using Bionic Reader for a while now, and it has completely transformed my browsing experience! This extension allows me to change the fonts on any website to match my personal style using the fonts I already have installed on my system. Whether I want to switch to a sleek sans-serif or a classic serif, Bionic Reader makes it incredibly easy. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive. With just a few clicks, I can customize the fonts on any website, and the changes are applied instantly. One of the best features is that my preferences stick around even after I close the tab, so I don’t have to reapply my settings every time. Bionic Reader also supports dynamic websites, which means it works seamlessly across all the sites I visit. The ability to restore the original fonts with a single click is a great touch, ensuring that I can always go back to the default settings if needed. Overall, Bionic Reader is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to personalize their web browsing experience. Kudos to the developer for creating such a versatile and reliable extension! |

| 2024-04-01 | Greg | | This add-on is super helpful in working and free time, especially when I have a hard time focusing on large blocks of text, so much so that I'm going to be using it for the foreseeable future. The best part is that it doesn't cost anything like the original Bionic font. I don't believe accessibility should be something you pay for. The only issue I'm having is that it ends up having an effect that doubles up text repeatedly on Chats with sellers on Etsy and Assistants on banking websites and the like, though I'm not sure why. |
