Recently, I assisted a relative in setting up a new computer. This relative has vision problems that make it difficult to read fine text with low contrast. While I knew that browsers allow you to control the base font size, I was searching for a way to control the font weight (font-weight) and couldn't find an easy solution. Even the Chrome Web Store didn’t have an extension that fit the bill.

The Solution

After some research and development, I created a Chrome extension called Bold it that allows users to control the font weight on any website. This extension can help not only my family member but also others who struggle with reading online due to vision issues.
