Fonts and browser extensions that help those with dyslexia read the web.

Make browsing easier with these dyslexia-friendly fonts and browser extensions.

Quick Links

Browser extensions for chrome and firefox, features built in to microsoft edge, features built in to safari.

Dyslexia is a learning condition characterized by difficulties with reading and, to a lesser extent, writing. As the web is full of written content, the right fonts and extensions can make consuming digital content much easier for those with dyslexia.

Anything that's written in a digital format must use a font. Whether it's a Word document, a web page, a spreadsheet, subtitles on a video, or any words written down, they all use a font.

People with dyslexia often "see" letters swapping places, turning back to front, melting together, or just generally changing in ways that make it difficult or impossible to read. The right font can help stop these problems, or at least alleviate them enough that reading is possible.

There are two big names in the world of dyslexia fonts: OpenDyslexic and Dyslexie Font . Both are popular, both are free, and you can install one or both and use them whenever you want.

If you've never installed a font before, we've written a guide that covers Windows, Mac, and Linux , and also a guide for iPads and iPhones . After you've installed your font, you can change the default font in your web browser , Word , PowerPoint , Excel , Outlook , and many other apps you use regularly.

If you want to know more about dyslexia-friendly fonts, including other options, the science behind the readability of different fonts, and more, Read & Spell has a comprehensive article for you.

So much of modern life is mediated through the internet that making your browser more dyslexia-friendly is a must.

The most popular browser extension (based on downloads) is Helperbird, available for both Chrome and Firefox .

Helperbird has a wide range of options, including changing fonts to dyslexia-friendly ones such as OpenDyslexic, changing colors, text-to-speech, tint overlay, and much more.

This is all great stuff, but the downside is that Helperbird's free version includes only a few of the options. If you want all of the functionality, it'll set you back $4.99 a month . This might be easily worth it, or you might feel it's not.

If you want a free alternative to Helperbird, you'll have to install multiple extensions.

Font Changes

There are different font-changing options for Chrome and Firefox. For Chrome, Dyslexia Friendly changes the font to a dyslexia-friendly font (OpenDyslexic or Comic Sans), provides contrasting colors for odd and even paragraphs, and adds a reading ruler.

For Firefox, Mobile Dyslexic changes the font to OpenDyslexic and does nothing else. If you want a reading ruler in Firefox, try Ruler . This does one simple thing very well: It adds a line under text that your cursor is on to help your eyes stay on the right line.

Color Changes

For color changes, Midnight Lizard for both Chrome and Firefox is your go-to extension.

It will let you change colors, color schemes, brightness, saturation, contrast, hues, and much more. It works on anything you open in your browser, including PDFs.

Text-to-Speech

The third major piece of Helperbird functionality to replace is the text-to-speech component. For that, you'll need Read Aloud, available for both Chrome and Firefox .

This open-source extension features multiple male and female voices and lets you control the speed and pitch of the reading. It also highlights the text as it's read and will read PDFs that you open in your browser.

The extension is free. If you're concerned it says in-app purchases are available, know that these are for people who want to use text-to-speech cloud service providers, such as Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, and Microsoft.

If you don't know what that means, you'll never use them, so don't worry. Everything you need in this app is free.

If these do enough for you, there's no need to splash out on Helperbird, although the free version on its own will almost certainly be useful.

Microsoft's Edge browser natively has several accessibility features, so you won't need much in the way of extensions.

Across all the Office suite---which includes Edge---Microsoft has embedded Learning Tools that give users the ability to have content read aloud. These tools also allow users to adjust settings to break the words into syllables and alter text size or background colors.

The main learning tool is what Microsoft calls " immersive reader ." This is where text-to-speech, text size and spacing, and speech highlighting are provided. You can read about how to use it in Edge here .

This all sounds good in theory, but in practice, there's one glaring problem: Nowhere in Edge does it explain how to turn any of the features on. The only exception to this is a "Read Aloud" option in the main menu. It turns on text-to-speech; to access all of the other tools, you need to click Ctrl+Shift+R to put Edge into "Reading View," which displays a toolbar of options.

From here, you can do things like turn on line focus, change the background color, set font spacing, and use grammar tools to break words into syllables and highlight words to show if they're nouns, verbs, or adjectives.

This is all great stuff, and Microsoft should be getting plaudits for including it by default. Instead, it's hidden behind a keyboard shortcut that no one would ever know about without being told. However, let's focus on the positives here: Edge provides good accessibility tools by default and for free, without you needing any extensions.

Safari makes use of your Mac's built-in text-to-speech functionality . It also provides a Reader view that strips away extraneous noise and lets you change the font, font size, and background color (but only to white, black, gray, or sepia).

This functionality is definitely better than nothing, but it's not as good as Edge. We were also unable to find a single dyslexia-friendly browser extension for Safari, let alone anything that would match up to Helperbird or Midnight Lizard.

However, if you have an iPad or iPhone, there's an alternative. ER Browser has been designed specifically to cater for dyslexia and visual stress and allows you to change the font (to OpenDyslexic, Arial, Verdana, or others), font size, letter spacing, and website background colors.

It's not a fully-featured browser like Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, but for simple reading, it'll give you better functionality than Safari. Given all the options though, we'd recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge rather than an alternative browser.

What is this for?

What is the easiest way to find out the fonts used in a webpage? Firebug or Webkit Inspector? No, that's too complicated. It should be just a click away.

Hence I wrote WhatFont, with which you can easily get font information about the text you are hovering on.

To embrace the new web font era, WhatFont also detects services used for serving the font. Now supports Typekit and Google Font API .

How to use it?

How to override the font settings in Safari for all pages

Sometimes web page designers make interesting choices. Why not use tiny, fancy type on a shaded background to make reading a page more…legible? Apple’s built-in Reader View in Safari across all its platforms lets you make short work of hard-to-read type. But you lose most of the formatting, some of the images, and other elements of the page.

Safari for macOS has another trick up its sleeve: custom CSS. Where HTML defines the structure and content of a web page, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the coding that underlies the appearance and formatting, from type sizes to columns and floating boxes. In Safari > Preferences > Advanced , you can select a custom style sheet from the Style Sheet pop-up menu.

You can override Web page’s definitions of how things should appear.

You don’t need to know much CSS to have an impact. For example, suppose you like Arial above all other typefaces. A CSS file that contains this single line will change the typeface on all pages to Arial:

html body { font-family: Arial !important }

Decoded, that says “for an HTML page’s body section, the container for all the stuff you see on a page, set the font family to Arial and override everything else.” The cascading part of the CSS name defines a hierarchy about which style characteristics to use when there are overlapping choices. The browser gets top pick and the !important flag says, “I don’t care what any other style sheet says—use my parameter!”

If you prefer another typeface, look through the Fonts pane in any app that shows it (TextEdit is such an app; press Command-T to display it), and enter the name in the style sheet above exactly as it appears. If it contains spaces, put quotation marks around the name, as in font-family: "Cooper Hewitt" !important

You can swap the sheet on and off through the Style Sheet menu in Advanced. Just pick None Selected when you don’t want to use it. You can also modify the text in the style sheet so it’s not applicable, like changing html to nohtml and saving it.

A CSS file is a plain text file with the .css extension. You can create this with TextEdit, built into macOS. Ironically, TextEdit only creates rich text files with formatting by default. Choose TextEdit > Preferences and select the Plain Text option under Format, and then choose File > New to create a plain text file. Save it as any name plus the .css extension. Now in the Style Sheet menu, select Other and choose that file.

You don’t have to go global in your definition, as you can target specific elements on a page or other aspects by diving into the HTML and CSS—it’s not as daunting as you might think. On the easy end, W3schools offers straightforward tutorials and recipes ; on the more technical side, Craig Anthony wrote this look at Safari overrides , which may give you different insight.

I’ve used some custom CSS for very particular fixes. For instance, the Substack newsletter empire has its text tracking (the overall spacing between letters) set too large for my reading pleasure. (Kerning, by the way, is the space between adjacent  letters, not across a range.) This CSS definition takes care of that for me, while also bumping the type size for my aging eyes:

.post p { letter-spacing: -0.1pt !important; font-size: 17px !important; }

The .post p part means, “For paragraphs [p] tagged with the name ‘post’, apply this style.” This can backfire for any other web page that happens to use “post” as a tagging (or “class”) name, too, as those names can be reused across websites!

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to change the font of a webpage in safari on iphone & ipad.

Have you ever wanted to customize the font seen on a webpage? Maybe you have a preferred font that you want to see while you’re reading, or the font on a particular webpage is difficult to read? In that case, you’ll be excited to know that you can now do this on your iPhone or iPad, without having to use a third-party web browser.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the default font that’s used by Safari for displaying text, but we live in a time where users like to customize and make their devices stand out from others. Fortunately, the built-in Shortcuts app on iOS and iPadOS devices has allowed users to add some unique features to their iPhones in ways that weren’t possible before. And, this is exactly what we’ll be using to change the font of any Safari webpage.

Interested in learning what you need to do? We’re here to help. In this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can change the font of a webpage in Safari on both the iPhone and iPad.

Shortcuts app is pre-installed on devices running iOS 13/iPadOS 13 or later. However, if you’re device is running iOS 12, you’ll need to download it from the App Store . Once you’re done, just follow these steps:

There you go. If the shortcut doesn’t work on your first attempt, reboot your iPhone or iPad and try using it again.

There are a total of nine different fonts that you can choose from. The best part about this shortcut is that it’s easily accessible from the share sheet. Hence, it feels like a feature that’s built into iOS rather than a third-party solution. Plus, since it’s available in Apple’s Shortcuts Gallery, you don’t have to install any untrusted shortcuts on your device .

Note that reloading or refreshing the webpage will load the page in its original font and not the font you selected. You’ll need to repeat the steps again if you want to view the content in your preferred font. Also, this shortcut only works with Safari, so if you’re using a third-party browser like Chrome on your iPhone or iPad, you’re out of luck.

Hopefully, you were able to get the shortcut to work properly and use it to change the text font for Safari webpages. How often do you utilize this shortcut while reading written content on the web? Do share your personal thoughts and opinions on this nifty shortcut. Also, make sure to leave your valuable feedback in the comments section down below.

Safari doesn't render self-hosted Google Fonts

[Update: July 2, 2021] The issue with Safari discussed below gets fixed when I deploy another Next.js site (static generation) with Cloudflare Page rather than with Netlify . The root cause is unclear, though.

Apparently it’s best NOT to self-host Google Fonts, because the latest versions of Safari will fail to render them.

My own experience

With my little web app ( Triangulum Color Picker --an original color picker), I tried self-hosting Google Fonts, after being convinced that there is now no performance gain in any situation by using the Google Fonts server ( Wicki 2020 ; see also Pollard 2020 ).

So I wrote up the @font-face declaration myself, downloaded the .ttf files from Google Fonts, converted them into .woff2 files (with the help of Google Webfonts Helper ) to reduce the file size, and uploaded them by pushing with Git LFS to my GitHub repo, and deployed the site with Netlify .

Oh, no. Times New Roman, the default font of the web since Day 1 . I should have at least specified sans-serif as a fallback for the font-family CSS property.

Still, it’s weird why only Safari fails to render self-hosted Google Fonts.

Other people’s experiences

It turns out I’m not alone. Searching over Twitter, I found several tweets reporting the same problem.

new JiminyPanoz(tweet) @jiminypan Great! @WebKit Safari doesn’t render local fonts installed by the user here (Mojave i.e. 10.14.2, w/o font-face declaration). All other browsers are OK on the platform. If anyone can confirm, it will be greatly appreciated. 22:04 PM - 23 Jan 2019

Nick Sherman @nicksherman What the … When did Safari stop supporting local fonts other than the pre-installed system fonts? I can’t even get them to work with @​font-face​ rules using `src: local('Foobar')`. Please tell me I’m wrong about this. 15:41 PM - 24 Jan 2019

DeeC Digital Solutions @deecdigital I wonder why safari doesn’t play nice with font-face. IE is usually the one causing trouble 🤔 #webdevelopment #Safari #CSS #ugh #alwayssomething 18:16 PM - 25 Nov 2019

Seth Wright @crosse3 My latest "what the—?!?" moment: Safari won't use user-installed fonts when they show up in CSS "font-face" attributes, because...fingerprinting? What even? stackoverflow.com/a/63208227 17:02 PM - 11 Sep 2020

hase @has_works Safariだけ@ font-faceが効かない、、、 01:53 AM - 08 Dec 2020

(The last tweet says in Japanese: "@font-face fails to work only for Safari...")

A Word Press plugin to self-host Google Fonts appears to have this issue as well.

HELP!! Doing final optimizations on a site before going live, hopefully today, and tried moving Google Fonts to be called locally using your plugin. It works great on all browsers except Safari. Any idea what’s the issue here? — Todd (@toddedelman) on Aug. 6, 2019

So what's going on with Safari?

The root cause: Fingerprinting

I finally found why Safari behaves differently: from Safari 12 (released on Sep 17, 2018), it only renders the default system fonts and web fonts ( ravasthi (2020) ). TylerDurdOn (2018) points to the same fact, so does this tweet:

Cascadea @cascadeaapp @Shpigford You can define web fonts with @font -face rules for remote fonts! Local fonts are restricted to the system fonts, however - this is a Safari security restriction to prevent browser fingerprinting. 21:17 PM - 14 Apr 2020

And the reason is to prevent browser fingerprinting . Steiner (2020) explains what it is, in a very approachable way:

… the list of fonts a user has installed can be pretty identifying. A lot of companies have their own corporate fonts that are installed on employees' laptops. For example, Google has a corporate font called Google Sans. … An attacker can try to determine what company someone works for by testing for the existence of a large number of known corporate fonts like Google Sans. The attacker would attempt rendering text set in these fonts on a canvas and measure the glyphs. If the glyphs match the known shape of the corporate font, the attacker has a hit. If the glyphs do not match, the attacker knows that a default replacement font was used since the corporate font was not installed.

Surprisingly, the lack of support for self-hosted fonts by the latest versions of Safari is rarely mentioned in any article that I've seen advocates the self-hosting of Google Fonts for the best performance. Which is why I’ve decided to write down this article.

Steiner (2020) introduces a work-around that is currently (as of January 2021) in active development: Local Font Access API . Until it’s launched and supported by all the major browsers, we should avoid self-hosting Google Fonts (and those other font files you have purchased from font foundries) to ensure the cross-browser consistency in how fonts are rendered.

Good news: Web fonts are no longer that slow

Performance improvement is the main motivation for self-hosting Google Fonts and other non-system fonts. But web fonts are no longer as slow as it used to be, thanks to (1) “preconnecting” the font file server and (2) “preloading” the font stylesheet. For detail, see another article of mine: Kudamatsu (2021) .

Plus, when it comes to the Google Fonts server, it has additional benefits: (1) it customizes the @font-face declaration to each browser and (2) it minimizes the size of font files to be downloaded. For both points in detail, see Pollard (2020) .

Conclusion: Don’t host Google Fonts locally for the sake of cross-browser consistency

That’s my conclusion after doing research on this issue for the past two days. The fact that it’s rarely mentioned makes me wonder if I miss something important. If you know how to work around Safari’s behaviour, please let me know by posting a comment.

Hey Masa, thanks for reference my 'Time to Say Goodbye to Google Fonts' post. Could it be possible, that we misunderstood each other?

In my post I'm basically advocating for self-hosting fonts. Whereas local fonts, that you refer in your post, would require the user to have them already on their system—this is where Safari pretty much kills that feature for the sake of privacy (finger printing). Cheers!

Version 2.3

- Made 'Help' more easily discoverable - Fixed: 'Source' text color when using a dark theme and the light system appearance - Added a new setting to preserve string quotes "..." when using 'Copy JSON Value' in the context menu

Ratings and Reviews

One of the most beautiful and well featured json viewer for safari.

Like many other users/reviewers I've tried the free ones in the market (on or off app store) but this one nails it in terms of beautifulness, dark mode compatibility, and collapse feature. Just one thing that I'd like to see in the future update is the change (or the option to change) the toggle button color when hover. It works, but purple seems... a bit off and I think the button context can be more simplified, perhaps using emoji. Overall, great extension and it's worth every penny (I mean it's only a dollar so 😉)

I tried the free one (JSON peep) and it was adequate - but to not have to go to another app to be able to get styling and collapsing, this works great for $1. Yes I could use something other than Safari, yes I could struggle with the Inspector to parse, or use one of my many web editing tools and apps - bt this works nicely in Safari with an easy to use button and great themes. Thanks for making this!

Professional and Perfect

If you work with JSON at all on the web this is more than worth the price. Beautifully formats JSON with enough options to tweak fonts and colors plus collapsing and searching. It has a professional polish you'd expect from the best Mac apps. A very well put together Safari extension. Exactly what I was looking for.
