Add-on summary
Simulates information a color blind person receives and/or adds a daltonization filter
Color vision is unfortunately not granted to everyone. Approximately 10% are affected by a reduction in their ability to perceive colors. Let's get color blind tries to raise awareness by letting you simulate colorblindness. Such that you can easily experience the information a color blind person receives. Such that you can learn about colorblindness, check your web pages for accessibility or explain your condition to others. It is even possible to change the severity of the simulated condition.
Additionally a daltonization filter can be used to improve the information received by those who are subjected to colorblindness. Results may vary depending on the severeness of each individuals personal condition.
The color deviciency simulation is based on
Gustavo M. Machado, Manuel M. Oliveira, and Leandro A. F. Fernandes "A Physiologically-based Model for Simulation of Color Vision Deficiency". IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Volume 15 (2009), Number 6, November/December 2009. pp. 1291-1298.

Firefox Browser Add-ons does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate,
spammy, or outdated.- Very useful for accessibility testing and helping understand when colors need to be altered for color blind accessibility
- Easy to use with an interface that even allows non-extension download use with a right-click feature
- Provides simulation of various forms of colorblindness, particularly useful for designers to check if their designs are CVD friendly
- Has a unique feature for daltonizing webpages that helps colorblind individuals with problematic pages
- Does not work on all platforms as expected, specifically issues noted on Linux Mint
- No persistence, requirements to click on the extension for each loaded webpage
- No adequate explanation of different options like 'simulate', 'daltonize', and 'simulate daltonized'
- Missing features like visual preview as selection of daltonization parameters are made
- Useful for accessibility testing and awareness
- Daltonizing feature appreciated by colorblind individuals
- Lack of explanation for different functionalities
- Issues with persistence on loaded webpages
- Comparison with other similar extensions and suggestions for improvement
