[Enlarge Arabic] Chrome extension
Arabic text on multilingual web pages is often too small to read comfortably. At the same font size, Arabic glyphs appear noticeably smaller than Latin, Hebrew, or Chinese characters — a well-known typographic problem that makes browsing Wikipedia, news sites, social media, and academic pages containing Arabic text unnecessarily difficult.
[Enlarge Arabic] fixes this with one click.
It selectively increases the size of Arabic text on any web page while leaving all other scripts untouched. English, Hebrew, Chinese, or any other text sharing the same paragraph stays exactly as it is — only Arabic gets enlarged.
How to use
Click the extension icon to enable Arabic enlargement on the current website. The icon turns teal when active. The setting is remembered per website — enable it once on a site, and it stays active on every visit until you turn it off.
Customizable settings
Adjust the font size and line height for Arabic text globally via the extension's 'Options' page:
