Chrome: If you're looking to magnify web text while preserving the
layout, ChromeVis enlarges the text for easy reading without blowing up
the whole page and distorting the layout like traditional magnifying
tools.

ChromeVis is a lightweight Chrome extensions that places—when active—a
box across the top of your Chrome window. Highlighted text appears in
this box with the color and magnification settings you specify for easy
reading. ChromeVis has a variety of customizable keyboard shortcuts to
move forward and backward through the text incrementally—by character,
word, sentence, or paragraph—and for enlarging and reducing the size of
the text.

If you're in the market for a text magnifier it's a very clean solution
with a spread of customization options. ChromeVis is free and works
wherever Google Chrome does. Have a favorite Chrome extension or
reading tool to share? Let's hear about it in the comments.
