OP here. Initially I made this because I enjoy watching lectures or browsing HN while I eat, but I don&#x27;t like touching my laptop with greasy pizza-covered hands.<p>That was a year ago.<p>I think I got a bit carried away with the project -- now it can work with any site, supports multiple languages, and has a completely plugin-based architecture.<p>The extension is especially useful to those who might be excluded from the web today due to accesibility issues. LipSurf enables those with motor disabilities: Parkinson&#x27;s, arthritis, cerebral palsy, RSI, etc. or to those with arm injuries, spinal injuries, amputations etc.<p>Not everyone can use a mouse, click on small links, or navigate complex dynamic UI. So I hope this will be useful to a wide variety of people.
