Make Wikipedia easier to read
FontFlex is a Safari extension that changes the font, size, spacing and colors of wikipedia.org, and every other site, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Why Wikipedia can be tiring to read
Wikipedia articles are long and dense, with footnote markers, tables and links on almost every line. On a phone that turns into a wall of small text.
Wikipedia has its own appearance menu with text size and color options. Those settings stay on Wikipedia. FontFlex applies one look to every site you read.
A good FontFlex setup for Wikipedia
- Text size one or two steps larger Free
- Atkinson Hyperlegible or Literata as the font Pro
- Line height around 1.6 Pro
Only for Wikipedia, if you like
Save these settings as a FontFlex profile and assign it to wikipedia.org. Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia. 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.
