- Rated 4 out of 5by Anaj, a year agoI used to use BeeLine reader before and was looking for an alternative. This add-on is a truly sufficient substitute and works really well.
I agree with other users' ideas on improving the add-on (automatic activation, possibility to select the gradient's colours, etc.) and would like to add:
- have hyperlinks (e.g. on Wikipedia) still be light blue to make them stand out from the coloured text. This is a big one for me personally
Other than that, I am very happy to have found this add-on, makes reading long articles with ADHD and skippy eyes easier! - Rated 3 out of 5by cyberfae, 3 years agoThis is cool, but it could use
- An option to customize the colors.
- For it to be activated automatically.
- For it to not need to be activated after PingAniReader for both to work
- For it to work well on sites that use a dark theme. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ariana, 3 years agoReally appreciate this free, open-source version of Beeline. It works well so far, so thank you! Some minor suggestions: it would be helpful to have blue-to-black gradient (you just have black-to-blue right now) so the transition isn't as jarring. Also, it doesn't work in the reader view mode. Given that it's free, I'm just grateful that it works as advertised and it does help a lot already. *Edit: actually, just realized you can lengthen the gradient by going to Options in the Add-ons settings in Firefox, so point 1 of my review is moot!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hrshl, 3 years agoVery nice and useful! If you want the gradient to go all the way you need to go in settings and put it to 100%.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Stumblr, 4 years agoDefinitely helps my ADHD with reading and tracking, but requires manual activation on every page every time. I'll keep it installed, at least for now, but I really was hoping for something automatic instead of adding another step.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nicole Ahmed, 4 years agoI have ADHD and find reading long blocks of text difficult. This helps with online reading massively (and is free compared to the alternative). It would be great if this we could use this in a focused "reader" view.
I use this with dark reader fine - so that I can have a dark background and light text with the coloured gradient
Thanks from the UK - Rated 4 out of 5by Caligena, 4 years agoThis is a wonderful add-on that makes reading big blocks of text much easier for people like me, who has raging ADHD. The ability to customize the gradient length is great, and I appreciate that there was chosen colors that are easier for most varieties of colorblind to differentiate between. My only complaint is that is sets all text to black before applying the gradient, which nullifies its usefulness for web pages that have a dark or black background (like many writing forums or custom websites); I wish there was an option to make the text recognize that the page uses white text, or maybe just an option to be able to select that myself.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Danny, 5 years agoAmazing. This just helps me read so much and I couldn't be more thankful to this developer for creating a free and open source version of Beeline Reader. I heard this also helps people with dyslexia so make sure to recommend this to anyone afflicted with that learning disorder -- or anyone who reads a lot for that matter!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14082185, 7 years agoIm a student in enginyeering and I expend more time with my computer than with real people. My eyes get tired and I end up lost in all the lines of code or even when reading different webs. This shet has saved my life, my eyes don't get tired as much and I dont get a headache, so it rocks.
Big shotout to the person that did that, and for free <3
