I've only had this for a day so far, but I can say that, as someone with dyslexia and acute photo-sensitivity, I'm loving this so far. I made everything on my screen ComicSans, which my brain can track better than Arial or TNR, and the screen tint allows me to lower the brightness of white pages beyond what my computer will let me do. I work on a lot of Google Docs things, and google has yet to figure out how to do text-to-speech for some reason, so having a screen reader extension is very important to me. This extension could be better about it, but it does say it's experimental currently, so I'll give it some slack for now. If they could make the screen reader better and add some other voices to it, this extension would be near perfect. The text options and screen tinting will easily keep me using this for a while, though.
