Overwhelmed by websites with a lot going on?


Bright colors, flashing videos, cluttered images—try simplify! simplify is a user-friendly tool designed to declutter overwhelming web interfaces and provide a clean, neurodivergent-friendly reading experience.

Even if you’re just looking to turn your daily digital intake (news, social media, research papers) into more aesthetic, readable experiences—simplify is for you. 🌟

Here’s what simplify currently does:
• Removes images, bright colors, and videos.
• Switches the website’s font to Atkinson Hyperlegible (dyslexia-friendly).
• Offers customizable text sizes: default, large, extra-large.
• Adds extra spacing between letters and lines to make reading easier to follow and digest.

How to Use:

Enable the extension, click "apply” on any page you want to simplify, and refresh the page to return it to its original layout.
