it doesn't work or take me to the page that I can input what I need to read. Tried to play around with the extensions and settings and it doesn't improve anything. Is there a way to make it work properly?

Excellent tool to create visual fixation on large bodies of text and make articles easier to read. I love that it it so customisable and that you can download the processed text to PDF to keep as reference for later. The extension is pinned to my task bar!

It's unnecessarily inconvenient. You have to press the pinned extension every time you want to use it on each page. Instead of simply changing the in-site html text, the extension re-writes the whole site to where it's basically their own site running on the actual site's domain. A better solution would be to have auto-activation on every site and to only edit the text of the site instead of giving the site ugly digital surgery.

(EDIT) Thanks to other user Songlin Zhao, you have to pin it and then on each page you go, you need to click the icon, this then loads the page into Bionic Reading! I also not able to get this working. I tried to play with some settings but no luck. Restarted chrome completely and even did an chrome update. Nothing. I remove it from chrome and even report it as non trustworthy.

Of course the plugin only works properly on the sites that you open after the installation, if you just install it and test it on the pages you opened earlier, nothing will happen. Just refresh the page. BTW, works on most sites, does not work on this site though.

Works as intended. Only complaint I would say is the user interface could be better but other than that this works. Time to time if I am struggling a little or feel myself going out of focus, I turn this on and I am back on track, plus this helps me with my ADHD ten fold. For the settings I have it set to when I click the extension while having it pinned to the my extension bar. Yes it is annoying that everything gets shown on a separate page rather than being converted but it works and I am ... Show more
