2024-01-19	Firefox user 18248173	Combined with a pdf-to-html tool (such as ar5iv), this add-on is very powerful to increase paper reading/scanning productivity
2023-12-29	emily	thank you for making this. just feedback, it tries to render latex which breaks it
2023-12-06	JP	This is an excellent addon. However, due the lack of customization, I give this only 3 stars. If I could customize the number of letters emboldened at the start of each word, then I would give this a solid 5 stars, easily. Hopefully the developer comes out with this option very soon.
2023-11-14	Firefox user 18146637	I appreciate the effort, but there are two issues: 1. It slows down browsing in some cases. 2. Sometimes it messes with the style, not breaks, but makes things ugly. It seems you care, so I'll drop some details in github:)

2023-03-06	scott312	Works well for reading documentation and articles. Though I wish I could change the amount of letters that are bold, it seems to always be two. Maybe just add a setting for the number of bold letters could be word.length / 2 ?
