I am by now enthralled by the Firefox browser for many reasons, not the least of which are the extensions.
Read Easily, has quietly become indispensable. Even with 20-20 vision I have a terrible time reading some web sites (

triggered this post). When I run into that situation now, a
click on the ''Red A'' instantly removes all styling, leaving a simple,
clean presentation. Another click returns the style.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one of these things for politicians?
Click-Click.
Rodge,
ReplyDeleteIs the style really that much of an impediment? I find if I just notch the text size up once or, in more extreme circumstances, twice, it's entirely readable.
Than again, I have met a couple of pages where increasing the text size resulted in overflow in weird ways. ... You may indeed be right on this one.

Yes, the style can be an impediment, for me anyway. I don't like certain fonts, and I cannot read multicolored blogs, like black backround and red type, etc. But, it's a choice.
ReplyDeleteTo get the "Red A" icon (or any other for that matter) right click on the tool bar, select "customize," and drag it up there.
Dr. H: You need to install the extension in your Firefox browser. If you're using the Redmond Malware Enhancer, you'll get a "Red A--", but it won't be something you want to click on with your computer mouse.
ReplyDeleteRodge: You're far more patient than I. If a site is unreadable because of crappy design, I just leave, never to return. I figure if they're that ignorant about presentation, they are also ignorant about content and have nothing to say that is worth my time to read.
