The Font Changer Extension is a tool that helps neurodivergent individuals improve accessibility on the web by allowing them to change the font formatting on any webpage. With a simple drop-down menu, you can choose from three specially designed fonts that are known to be more readable and easier on the eyes for those with dyslexia or other learning differences.
To use the extension, simply install it from the Chrome Web Store and click the extension icon in your browser's toolbar. A menu will appear with a list of available fonts to choose from. Simply select the font you want to use and the extension will automatically apply it to the webpage you are currently viewing. It's that easy!
To download the fonts to your computer, follow these steps:
Download the Font Changer Extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Ensure that each of the three fonts: OpenDyslexic, Calibri, and Arial Unicode MS are downloaded on your computer. I have included the URL for OpenDyslexic (https://opendyslexic.org/), feel free to download the others from any font download site you prefer, I have added sites for each.

For Windows type, "Font" into your search bar, and go into Font Settings. Then drag and drop the unzipped fonts to add them.
Once the fonts are installed, you can use them in any application on your computer, not just in the Font Changer Extension.
We hope you find the Font Changer Extension to be a useful tool for improving accessibility on the web. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
