What are Paragraph Borders?

Paragraph Borders adds visible colored outlines around each paragraph on a webpage. This helps you clearly see where one paragraph ends and another begins, making it easier to track your place while reading.

You can choose any border color you like to match your reading preferences.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People who lose their place while reading long text
  • Anyone who finds walls of text hard to navigate
  • Students reading dense articles or essays
  • People with dyslexia or attention difficulties
  • Anyone who wants clearer visual separation between paragraphs

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Text Settings

Look through the list of features until you see Text settings.

Click on Text settings to open it.

A panel will appear with several tabs at the top.


Step 4: Open the Border Tab

At the top of the Text settings panel, you will see tabs like Text, Colors, and Border.

Click on the Border tab.


Step 5: Turn on Border

In the Border tab, find Border with a toggle switch next to it.

Click the toggle to turn it on. The toggle will turn green when it is enabled.

All paragraphs on the page will now have colored borders around them.


Step 6: Choose a Color

After turning on Border, a color palette will appear below the toggle.

Click on any color to change the border color.

Your choice is saved automatically.

Tip: Use a contrasting color that stands out against the page background for the best visibility.

This is a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive. With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the world to some who may not otherwise have received it. Great Work.
