Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here: https://u.osu.edu/keck.60/2023/03/26/beeline-reader-android

Fonts and legibility on laptop screen.
Resolution: 1920x1200
Scale: 125%
Firefox window on the left is set to 400% zoom to bring attention to font sharpness. The font in the Google Chrome window on the right, looks sharp as well but not as much. Might have a lot to do with my vision or how fonts are rendered in Linux on these screen sizes? I don't know. #legibility #fonts #linux #KDE #firefox #chrome

#font "Atkinson Hyperlegible" https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/
"Our font, Atkinson Hyperlegible was carefully developed by the Braille Institute to help low-vision readers. It improves #legibility and #readability through clear, and distinctive letters and numbers." #typography

When live coding on a Mac, don’t just mirror your screen as no one will be able to see what you’re doing. Use, e.g., SwitchResX to mirror your screen at a larger retina resolution (1280×720 works if presenting on a 1920×1080 projector).
That way, you shouldn’t have to alter the text size in your terminal, browser, etc., and the audience will still be able to read your screen. Also goes for live streams, etc.

The Basics of Legibility
A Short Guide for Non-Typographers
Did you one morning wake up only to discover your #Slack's web interface now displays ugly browser-default scrollbars even when they're not needed, such as in your lovingly maintained sidebar? 
If you're using #uBlock or #uBlockOrigin, here's a custom filter you could enable:
) ! Fix Slack's custom-styled scrollbar
slack.com##body .c-scrollbar__hider:style(scrollbar-width: none !important;)
And if you're wondering how to use a more legible font, you could add this:
! Fix Slack's font
slack.com##body *:style(font-family:"Arial";font-smooth:auto !important;)
Obviously, you can use any font that you'd like and style it further, or you could style any other elements on the page but that's the way to do it and it 
% works. No need to install additional browser plugins to force custom styles when the one you already use can do that for you, too.
Setting the beginning of every word in bold seems a nasty way of meddling with the eye, the brain and even the information that the text is supposed to convey in a clear and efficient manner.

There seems to be some kind of #football thing going on. In the spirit of the sport, we offer the #freefont Soccer Sans. An instant classic for the kits, thoroughly optimized against legibility.
In this new version, it has gained a variable Legibility axis! Because being contradictory is profoundly human.
