Description

Color code individual characters on pages you view -- induce color-graphemic synesthesia

A study by scientists in the Netherlands has shown that it may be possible to induce color-graphemic synesthesia (viewing letters as having an innate color) by reading text containing letters with a consistent color coding.

Replicate their experiment at home with the Synesthetize extension. Synesthetize can be configured to color as many or as few letters as you want in the colors you prefer, so you can use existing associations for a stronger effect.

When compared to the other options available, this extension is very good overall. But as others have said, it needs a blacklist. It doesn't format every single text (like inputs, or texts that get refreshed).

Very good and fast. I would rate 5 stars if it had the option to disable on certain pages.

Seems okay but I can't get it to only activate on one specific site. The options for site access are "on click", "on <current site>", or "on all sites" - but no matter which I choose, it seems to behave as though I have chosen the last of those options.
