Make BBC News easier to read
FontFlex is a Safari extension that changes the font, size, spacing and colors of bbc.com, and every other site, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Why BBC News can be tiring to read
Live pages and articles are full of short updates. Bigger text with more space between lines makes them quicker to scan.
A good FontFlex setup for BBC News
- Text size one or two steps larger Free
- Line height around 1.6 Pro
Only for BBC News, if you like
Save these settings as a FontFlex profile and assign it to bbc.com. BBC News gets its own look while every other site keeps your default. Profiles are free.
New to FontFlex? The setup guide shows how to turn the extension on in Safari. It takes about a minute.
FontFlex is not affiliated with BBC News. It changes how pages look on your device only.
The quiet cost of hard-to-read pages
Small, thin type and tight lines make readers work harder. Many give up halfway down the page, and the words were never the problem.
