Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension's simplicity, lightweight design, and effectiveness for improving visibility, especially for low vision users. However, several request enhancements like customizable shortcuts, a rectangular magnifier shape for easier reading, a snapping feature to capture zoomed content, and improved usability such as better steering and functionality in full-screen mode. Some users report issues with the extension stopping when scrolling or not working properly in the latest versions.
