It doesn't magnify what is behind it on the screen. In order to magnify a calendar entry for 10am, I had to move the lens to the bottom of the screen. I found this to be the case for every page I tried it on - the lens has to be moved to a completely different area of the screen than where the text is. |

Amazing app!, though I have some concerns it takes like a second to appear when you click it, another concern I have is that whenever i use the magnifying glass it freezes the place the magnifying glass is in! so whenever you click the button it freezes the page wherever the magnifying glass, this "ability" could be useful in some ways but overall a pretty good extension, just remember to fix the things I said please and thank you! |

Poorly written extension. Creates new tab each time the extension is activated and the sector that is magnified is way off the mouse cursor. Also the quality of the magnification sucks. |
