An extension that allows for Bionic Reading on any webpage!

Jiffy Reader uses Bionic Reading to help you to read faster, better , easier and with incredible focus than ever before.

Stop re-reading the same text over and over.

Jiffy Reader creates focus points based on the principles of Bionic Reading that guide your eyes and make it easier to glide through text. The focus points are created by manipulating font weights, opacity and color.

With Jiffy Reader you customize how the text is manipulated to create focus points.

Jiffy Reader's goals are to make reading, fun , comfortable and easy while reading.

Basically we want you to have the best Bionic Reading experience possible when compared to other Bionic Reader extensions.

We have received lots of love and support from many people some of whom have expressed how Jiffy Readers helps improve their reading and focus with ADHD and academic work.

We hope that by using the Jiffy Reader extension you too will be able to read large amounts of text faster, more easily, with greater comprehension and focus.

Does what it says it does

Bionic reading works for me and this extension is surprisingly really well implemented into everyday surfing compared to the official Bionic reading or other third party extensions, which only really convert or are more suited for articles.
I hope many more features are coming, such as a blacklist/whitelist for sites in which the extension should be enabled on, a setting for the weight of the font, etc.
Currently it does break spacing on certain websites such as LinkedIn but it's not a big deal as you can just toggle it (that's why there should be a blacklist however). It also turns some characters into � (again especially on LinkedIn as far as I know).
