@TheClockworkDodo If you are using windows 10 have you tried messing around with Ease of Access in the settings?
There are colour filters, high contrast settings and a screen narrator.

Thanks Dez, but I'm using Chromium on a Linux machine. I have lots of preferences set so that things are easier for me to access, but none of the things you mention would actually be any help for my particular needs - I just need ordinary text that's not too small or too twiddly, and nothing flashing or moving about too much.

Ah Juliet, I'm an old dyed-in-the-wool MS-DOS and Windows man. 😛
Dunno too much about Linux, I never really got on with it.

Doesn't need to be that big!

R's an internet security specialist, he wouldn't have windows in the house. At least ... oh, you know what I mean 🙄

Can you increase the size of font on screen? After retinopathy I use Ctrl and + key and read everything at 200%.... the more sensible option would not have been using the laptop until I could see properly.

We have just increased it on the test version today. If people are still having issues with reading text, I will increase it again.
