Make Stack Overflow easier to read
FontFlex is a Safari extension that changes the font, size, spacing and colors of stackoverflow.com, and every other site, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Why Stack Overflow can be tiring to read
Answers mix prose, code and comments in small text. Larger prose with untouched code blocks makes them faster to read.
A good FontFlex setup for Stack Overflow
- Text size one or two steps larger Free
- HTML tag exclusions, so code keeps its monospace font Pro
- A monospace you like, such as JetBrains Mono, for a developer profile Pro
Only for Stack Overflow, if you like
Save these settings as a FontFlex profile and assign it to stackoverflow.com. Stack Overflow 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 Stack Overflow. 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.
