The web can easily become overwhelming to people with Autism. That’s why we created the e& Wider Web mobile extension, to simplify the way some experience the web. The mobile extension is the first of its kind* and curates the user experience to people who are on the autistic spectrum. The e& Wider Web mobile extension adopts a wide range of technologies to streamline the experience of autistic people on the web: - For the first time, AI technology will allow users to summarize entire pages of content into short and clear paragraphs - Cleared up interface - Option to choose a sans serif font - Toned down color schemes: the dark mode is the option by default - Advertising removal - Blocking of video’s auto play - Audio volume reduction - Over to view function - Uniformed icons - Option to turn on a timer The mobile extension is available on almost every website and in every language. It’s currently optimized for the most visited UAE websites. Please note that the mobile extension isn’t adaptable to some blacklisted websites. Please get in touch with these sites’ developers to ask for adaptability. All feedback is welcome and encouraged through the report button on the mobile extension interface. We are also very proud to say that the mobile extension, although developed by e&, is an open- source technology and we invite anyone to contribute to its constant improvement and wide adoption. *According to autism experts in the UAE.
