Ten year ago we made the free open source ATbar as a cross browser JavaScript bookmarklet. The project was the result of requests from a group of students who did not want to always use their heavy duty AT on web sites or were working online in the library or in different places https://www.atbar.org/

Now there are many more up to date versions provided by companies such as TextHelp https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readwrite-for-google-chro/inoeonmfapjbbkmdafoankkfajkcphgd and ReciteMe https://www.reciteme.com/ or SpeakIT http://www.speakit.se/en/

Some dyslexic people use reading rulers, such as:

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
