About

Some languages show text in different directions. English is written from left to right, Arabic is right to left and Chinese is written from top to bottom. This extension allows you to change how the text on a page is written. Its primary use is for software developers and testing CSS.

It sets the body element with the CSS properties "direction" and "writing-mode" to change how the flow of text and other elements appear on the page. This can be helpful for developers testing their own sites to make sure everything works correctly in different places around the world.
