Overview

Screen dimmer and reading aid, may help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading.

Version 2.0.7: Upgrade to Manifest V3 Version 2.0.4: Bug-fixes and updated style. As well as being a great general purpose screen dimmer, Visor's overlays and point of focus feature may be assistive to users with visual perceptual difficulties such as Dyslexia, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome and Visual Stress. Whilst research shows results vary from person to person, some users may find that the use of overlays can help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading. In addition to the traditional overlay method, Visor also employs a point of focus feature, designed to further reduce visual confusions and the tendency to skip lines. This horizontal focal point tracks your mouse, giving full focus to the content being read, whilst reducing the visual noise of the surrounding page. Visor requires no special permissions, so must be reactivated with each page load. Note: This extension will not work on Chrome's start page, options pages or the Chrome web store. This is a restriction of chrome. Blue polygonal background designed by Freepik.com

This i so helpful with reading articles! I was shocked to see you could play around with all the colors and sizes. (plus darkness.) but sadly, When you turn it darker the whole screen goes darker. i'd love for someone to add the feature where only the outside goes darker and where you put the visor stays lighter. all together this app is really well made!

Great extension, has helped me focus with reading my online textbooks and long articles so that I don't get distracted or lose my place as fast. However, a great number of what I need to read is on a PDF, which Visor doesn't work with at all, doesn't even turn on for me. Additionally, I wish there was a way for the center highlighted section to not also dim when you turn the extension on, since it makes it harder to read and strains my eyes. If these things were fixed, it'd be awesome and ... Show more

Really buggy, and not a great user interface either.
