Reviews of font size increase:
There's no way to decrease the size after increasing it. You need a different extension to decrease the size.
After getting Parkinson's disease my eyesight has been compromised and I find a couple of clicks of this button make this app very valuable
goood
now i need to search how to decrease font size........................... if you go too crasy(i accidentally did it as it was my first time and im just figuring out how to use) it cannot be reverse. I cant even see properly on my screen now..
Barely works. Absolutely sucks. Please remove this extension from the store.
Too many parts of webpages or whole webpages that don't respond to this extension. I'm going back to A+ Font Size Changer Lite.
didn't do one thing
Only makes fonts larger, if you go too far there's no way to go back, you have to keep enlarging endlessly. Only enlarges certain parts of page if any. Not good.
Doesn't work on all sites. Example: https://code.blender.org
Excellent, but it is not able to increase all fonts in a web page.
Far from perfect but it often helps with some aspects of the screen.
its doesn't increase font size on Facebook chat!
Doesn't work well.
Almost always fails to enlarge the font most needed to enlarge. Could probably be improved with better coding, but is a waste of space as of Oct-8-2016
it pushes the page content together so I can not read it at times the box I need to check is mixed up with others and I cannot get to where I need to.
I was under the impression it would increase the font type ... I wear glasses and i need a magnifier to see this little type....
FAB!!!!!!!!
Didn't worked on first trial... Ubuntu 14.04, Chromium.
i do like it, but it would be great if it was improved with more options & flexibilities. thank u
Only worked on a few sites and no way to reverse it.
doesnt work at all
Does not change the font size of all text in a web page
It enlarged the text for the Ads but not the text I wanted to read! Good grief!
I Think This App Is One Of The Best Even Though It Doesn't Work On All Web Pages
Only works on some Web pages
Doesn't always work, & I haven't figured out why it does sometimes and doesn't others.
worked on only 10% of text on any page
Only adjusts text size in a limited part of the screen--usually a useless header. This extension is useless
It does NOT work on my installed Google Chrome browser. Does almost nothing. Removed it. One Star for trying
Only changes the font-size of the <body>. Only children elements that inherit font-size or have font-sizes set in em will be changed. Therefore, doesn't work well with elements that have font-size set in px or rem. Cannot recommend this for web users or developers.
Using an iMac with Yosemite and Chrome (since Apple has totally ruined Safari). Need text enlarged sometimes, but this app only enlarges some text on a page, not all of it proportionally (that's about the only thing on Safari that still works correctly). Big mess with giant text overlapping other text that never changed size. Apparently it works for some, so try it, but no luck for me.
Very helpful in viewing certain sites!
Doesn't save your settings, cannot decrease font size, and doesn't work well with HTML5
Doesn't change anything
First page I tried it on, it performed as advertised, but only on the words on the left and right margins. The words to the actual article, in the center, remained too small to read. Pity. I ended up using Magic Reader, which is better for my aging eyes.
I use the latest chrome on Windows 7. Iv read other users reviews and found bout 1/2 & 1/2 on the issue of whether or not it works. WHY doesn't work @ ALL for ANY website @ ANY time for me? It does nothing. Iv been to the support page & it tells me to DISABLE ALL OTHER EXTENSIONS then try it to see if it works! Now why should I have to do that to get a simple app to work? Ridiculous. I'm disabling/Uninstalling and DONE w/this review. Made me so mad I actually DID a review! SHEESH!!
Everything worked great. One thing I would change is make it so it will stay zoom for all pages.
This app works really well for me but only gave 4 stars as you cannot save. I use it often for a couple sites that I use quite often and when I go to those pages I have to manually increase the font every single time. PLEASE make it so I can save my font sizes per website? Thank you. This would be a great idea even if I have to pay for it. Again thanks.
(It's increase font in twitter not facebook). I want it descrease too not only increase. :)
I'm not sure about this "font size increase" This extension caused my anti-Virus malware and spyware alarm to go off.
This extension barely works. On several pages it either does nothing or just increases the spaces between lines of text, not the text itself.
Doesn't work. Nothing happens when I click the toolbar button.
Randomly works on and off..
It's not good, it doesn't have any settings for increasing or decreasing font size of a website, just increasing font size
doesn't work!
does not increase font on websites. Useless app for surfing websites at least.
It's great to finally be able to zoom text only - tried several extensions but all messed up one or another thing. Also: The biggest annoyance on chromes built-in zoom isn't the images! What's even worse is the way it also "zooms" the HTML elements(!!!) - making the page wider, often resulting in page that gets cropped horizontally or parts disappearing under other elements like sidebars. However it doesn't work on a whole number of pages - only parts, if even that, are zoomed. And I don't like to be forced to use mouse unless it's already in my hand so it should also provide a hotkey. These issues would make me drop 2 stars, but because it fixes the whole page size growing issue I gave 4 out of 5. Also, is it not possible to create two buttons for one extension or why do I need another one for decreasing font size?
No keyboard shortcuts No reset zoom No zoom out Only works on some texts
It doesn't work for all websites; I downloaded it specifically to use on Pinterest and no go :(
doesn't work on some sites, and horribly broken on others
This extension is just to control the Text size. Works great but no save? Set-up in "Settings" > "Advanced Settings" in Chrome: Font Size: Medium Page Zoom: 150% This is for a 24 inch Wide Screen.
Works as advertised. One star off for not being what it should be-- an extension that changes font size in either direction. I would like to see 1 extension w/ Font Size Increase and Decrease functionality.
I am really far-sighted and I'm disabled so this app is a godsend. I am going to try and save up some cash to donate. I don't make much anymore as a disabled vet, but it's worth it! THanks!
Didn't work for me on the site I added it for.
Does the job, nicely.
Absolutely useless. Haven't found a page that this actually works on.
Is there any possibility to implement shortcut for the function?
The only text on a page that was effected by it was the title, the rest of the page stayed the same, great idea though, but just doesn't work as described
Hello, It Does Not Work With CHROME 18.0.1025.142 Anymore. These 2 Extensions Were The Only Way To Correct The PCW Forums Fonts In CHROME. I Hope The Author Updates Them Soon. Thank You.
This little extention does the job. It doesn't work for heavily Ajaxed Javascript-based sites such as Google Mail, but for static HTML it works very well. The standard browser enlarge/shrink commands (control-plus and control-minus for Chrome and Firefox) also affect the images which I don't always want. It's nice to just have the text made more readable. Regarding the complaints about reset--it's quite easy to reset to original font size: just reload the page (control-R). A neat enhancement would be a keyboard shortcut, and of course to merge the grow and shrink extensions into one.
It's just a zoom button - does full page zoom, including images... so pretty much useless. :(
Dosen't work
So weird that the Font Size Decrease works, but this one doesn't work. :(
