Some dyslexic people use reading rulers, such as:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/olivia-reader/gdnbjigohbkphodaahigcgnfbllpilhj
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dyslexia-friendly/miepjgfkkommhllbbjaedffcpkncboeo

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en allows users to modify the CSS globally or for specific websites, but they need CSS knowledge to do so.

In a similar discussion elsewhere, someone listed these, most of which allow users to change the colour scheme.

Subject: [WebAIM] Bookmarklets or extensions to retrofit specific websites

I know there are bookmarklets and browser extensions that help developers inspect accessibility features of a website.
But does anyone know of examples of bookmarklets or browser extensions that are created by or for people with disabilities to alter websites to make them more usable? Client side javascript injections may improve a website. These may be customized to particular sites or for particular users.
Sincerely,

Mark
