Some dyslexic people use reading rulers, such as:

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.

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/

I've got a couple of browser extensions that could help sighted keyboard
users:

1) Landmarks

As the name implies it concerns landmark roles.

It can be used to show a list of landmarks on a page, and also highlight
them.

But it is also possible using keystrokes to move focus around the page -
thereby giving sighted keyboard users some functionality that normally only
screen reader users can use.

It's available for Chrome and Firefox.

There is another Firefox only one called 'A11y outline' that does similar,
but also shows headings and links.

2) Focus indication

A Chrome only extension that can show focus highlight in a customisable
colour outline.

Useful on sites where focus indication has been suppressed.


Hope they are of some use.

Regards
Graham Armfield
