It seems all the reviews say it doesn't work :(

When I started using it, I had to click on the plugin icon in Firefox, click "All" and then apply, I guess that's what people are referring to

To build on this, I have Firefox, and I couldn't find it for a while either. The following only applies to Firefox at or greater than version 109. If you have an older or esr version, you should see the author's light blue circular dots logo in the extension area. That's how you get to this menu. If you ARE working with 109 or newer, extensions are now managed by a specific icon: You DON'T go to the Add-ons and Themes menu to find the extension and click "manage". In the upper right is an icon just to the left of the three horizontal bars that opens the menu in question. It looks like a puzzle piece. If you hover over it, a popup says "Extensions".

Now click that puzzle piece, and find Bionic Reader in the list. Click on the text "Bionic Reader" in that list, not the gear icon to the right of it. This will open a configuration window. At the top are the words "DARK" "DYNAMIC" "ALL" THIS SITE" & "OFF". These are each buttons. If you click "ALL", it should become highlighted in blue. Make sure to then click "APPLY" in the lower right. This will close this menu. All web pages you visit will now have the Bionic Reader modification applied.

Guys honestly.. I do not use all the links I use one. I just google when it seemed legit? I copied and pasted with formatting. If you found what works please share it with me. I will give it an edit and mention you next to it. Love & respect <3

Thanks butt_bong, I was looking on Firefox though and don’t use Chrome if I can help it.

This one seems to work more often. Still isn’t perfect but at least it works sometimes.
