This saves me so much eye strain, thank you!!! I'm still noticing some issues with the ruler appearing even though in the settings it stays deselected. I was able to get around this by changing the color to white and moving the opacity all the way down, but it's still not ideal because on new tabs I'll have to open the settings in order for it to remember I don't want the ruler. All in all, a great extension! I use this all the time now and it makes school and work so much easier.

Hey! Thanks for enjoying the extension! I'm not able to replicate this bug (version 2.4.0). Does this happen for you sometimes or always?

Exceptionally good extention for dyslexia font, only bug is that when I switch of the ruler it seems to default back on other web sites.

is there a way to not have to remove the ruler ever time i open my browser?

Hey! If you deactivate the ruler, it should stay deactivated when closing and re-opening the browser. Does this not happen for you?
