Normalize.css and Dyslexia

Chrome has a plug in for the dyslexia font which is easier for those with Dyslexia to read. I'm going to assume Normalize.css overrides this font change by the browser. If we want someone who has the dyslexia plug in to still be able to use it but people who don't have it to see the font we've chosen is there any way to make that happen on our end. Through another stylesheet or through Normalize.css?

Hi Brittany,

If it's a browser extension then it more than likely overrides all styles on the page, including the styles that NoramlizeCSS resets. If you really want to be sure, though, either test the extension yourself or — if it's open-source — take a peek at the source code.

XD How would I know in the code if it would override normalize.css?

If you have access to the code — e.g. it's open-source and on GitHub — you could open an issue and ask the maintainers directly. If you don't understand the mechanics of how a browser extension is built, that's probably your second best bet. The path of least resistance, though, is for you to just install the extension on your own browser, load a page that uses NormalizeCSS, activate the extension and see what happens.
