Based on this script:

This reading ruler will aid you on reading texts on the internet
It will place a semi-transparent line on your screen, just hit the combination ctrl + r on windows and mac (not the command button but the control button) to activate the ruler, hit the same configuration to remove the ruler

Reviews of readingruler:
Best and simplest Reading Ruler I've found. Simple Reading Ruler. Easy to use. Very versatile. Love that it changes size according to text. You can use Hex, RGB, HSL, or even a ink dropper for color picking. It does have a problem with remembering the color I want the ruler to have, but I just set it again occasionally. Sometimes I have trouble using it on certain websites, but over all it is very worthwhile.
I cannot get this to work. I have tried Ctrl-R and Ctrl-Y
it worked on google search page but no other website, i have them most update version of chrome and this extensions and still not functioning :(
