- Rated 5 out of 5by Data_Trip, 9 days ago5 stars as it does exactly what it says its does.
Some recommendations to integrate for better UX:
1. The ability to choose how many lines are highlighted simultaneously (units)
2. The ability to change the amount of lines the highlighted section is moving when pressing arrow keys to scroll through pages (eg 1 press of arrow key EXPLICITLY moves the highlighted section 1 line [or unit if you integrate the previous recommendation] down)
essentially create a variable to represent the number of highlighted lines, ill call it "unit" and allow the arrow keys to move the highlighted section by the "unit" amount - Rated 5 out of 5by 远离中共邪教快退出党团队, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18848665, a month agoI have ADHD and this beauty really helps me with reading and understanding text, also it would be amazing if there was an option for highlighting 2-3 lines of code.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Noah, 4 months agoThis add-on is a game-changer for me when it comes to studying or reading articles. My ADD makes it very hard to focus sometimes and when I see a big block of text, my brain shuts down. Now I can read line by line without losing focus. I am astonished that this extension is not more popular because it is fantastic. Thank you so much to the creator of this wonderful add-on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18182066, 8 months agomy favourite extension. It's simple, efficient, perfect.
- Rated 5 out of 5by red, a year agoThis is a great addon and makes reading long chunks of text so much easier! I wish there was an option to pick any colour instead of the default 5.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16034524, 2 years agoIt took me a while to realize that the ruler icon appeared in the search bar and not the toolbar. Other than that, it does everything it says on the tin. I wish I had discovered this tool much earlier!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14921817, 3 years agoI can see this extension being pretty useful, but I think it would be better if the ruler was turned off by default. I only need it for certain things and having it on every page gets annoying pretty quickly. Edit: The added toggle feature makes it much more useful. Definitely a useful extension to have.

posted 3 years agoI hear you. Turning the ruler on or off for all sites appears to be the top requested feature. Version 1.8 adds a global on/off switch at the top of the options menu. You can also use the Alt+R hotkey to toggle the ruler for all sites. - Rated 5 out of 5by mf2, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13888374, 3 years agoAmazingly useful add-on. Big thanks to the programmer! I read a lot of books online and have tried the Ruler (line highlighter) at Project Gutenberg, Fadedpage, and Scribd.com. Works perfectly. It certainly helps keep me focused and my eyes more relaxed. I might add that all the options, including turning the Ruler ON or OFF, are available in about two mouse clicks. (Look for the Ruler icon just to the right of the address/URL bar. Couldn't be more convenient.)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cezar, 3 years agoI have ADHD and this extension is awesome for reading texts without losing focus. Previously I would manually highlight every line as I was reading it. Congrats
- Rated 5 out of 5by Abhi, 3 years agoThis is the first time I'm rating any extension out of the dozens I use. It does exactly what it says. One thing which could be improved is a shortcut to enable/disable the extension. Additionally a global disable and then enable for each ones where required is an absolute essential.

The ONLY suggestions I have are to add options for "locking" a highlight in place and maybe a shortcut to toggle the extension on 'n off... But that's if I'm being nitpicky, this add-on is a gem, thanks a whole whole bunch! :+}

I hear you about locking the highlight in place. I'll experiment with that in some future version. As for a shortcut to toggle the extension on or off, take a look at the latest version. It adds both an on/off switch on the add-on's options menu and a hotkey to do the same (Alt+R).
Hope this helps! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13313774, 4 years agoThank you, this was exactly what I was looking for!
