teh word spacing and highlight tools were my favorite things about this extension! i would give it a better review, but this extension actually ruins some websites completely. it makes the text appear in random places and, in tunr, makes it extremely difficult to read. i wish i could keep using it, but this has ruined it for me. please try to fix this bug.

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.

This is great.
1. Only complaint -- allow us to have it DISABLED (by default) except on certain websites.
I only really want to use it on certain websites, not on others (such as Google Search). I don't want this extension to change the margins and font of search results, but it does anyway.

2. More fonts please. Especially Sans Serif varieties, as I find these are easier on the eyes for prolonged electronic reading.

Spoke to developer on the website chat. He was very engaging, friendly, and helpful. Very impressed to be able to talk to the actual developer of such an extensive app.

I told him my feedback ideas and he told me they will be releasing a way to have the extension disabled by default and automatically turn on for specific websites. That's so awesome! Once that feature comes out, I have a feeling I will be purchasing the monthly subscription!

This tool helps so many of our students at school - not only those students who have dyslexia, but students and adults who have other learning differences (and those who don't!). It helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in their learning!
