Mobility, pain & repetitive strain
Tremors, chronic pain, RSI, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, a wrist in a cast. When every click costs effort, hover-to-click and larger targets can mean getting through your day without burning out.
Axol Assist
The web should adapt to you.
The internet assumes everyone clicks the same way, reads the same way, and navigates the same way. Real people don't. We build tools that make websites easier to use when standard interfaces get in the way.

Works on every site
No account required
Most websites weren't built with everyone in mind.
Tiny click targets. Gray text on gray backgrounds. Walls of dense copy with nowhere to rest your eyes. Millions of people hit these barriers every day, and most sites never offer a way around them. We think you should be able to adapt the page to fit you, not force yourself to fit the page.
Who it's for
When the default web doesn't fit.
Accessibility isn't a niche. It's anyone whose body, vision, focus, or energy level makes the standard interface harder than it should be.
Low vision, dyslexia & focus
Blurry type, harsh contrast, lines that swim on the page, tabs that won't stay still. Adjust fonts, spacing, and contrast on any site, or strip a page down to what you actually came to read.
Eye tracking, head pointers & fatigue
Eye gaze, head trackers, mouth sticks, joysticks, and plain old screen fatigue after hours online. If moving a cursor is easier than clicking one, or reading one more dense page feels impossible, you're who we build for.
See the difference
Adapt the page. Not yourself.
Same article, two ways to read it. Toggle the controls. This is what Accessibility Surfer lets you do on any site you open.
Before
11px gray text on a white-gray background. Lines stacked tight. A link the size of a breadcrumb crumb. Your eyes work overtime just to stay on the sentence, and your hand misses the target half the time.
After
Larger type. Breathing room between lines. Contrast that doesn't fight you. The same article, adjusted to how you actually read, with links you can hit without squinting or overshooting.
How we build
Practical tools, not paperwork.
Four rules we don't bend on.
1
Start with the barrier
Can't click reliably? Text too small to track? Page layout fighting your screen reader? We name the problem first, then build something that actually addresses it.
2
Ship with the people who use it
Real testers with real disabilities, real input devices, real daily browsing. Not a checklist run once before launch.
3
Works where you already are
Your browser, your sites, your routine. No new platform to learn, no IT ticket to file, no hardware to mount.
4
Free to try, fair to keep
The tools people depend on shouldn't be priced like luxury goods. We keep costs down so more people can actually use what we make.

Free Chrome extension
Accessibility Surfer
Navigate with less clicking. Read with less strain. Adjust text, spacing, and contrast on any page, or let hover-to-click handle the buttons for you. Works with a mouse, trackpad, head tracker, or eye gaze device.
Who we are
Founder-built. User-tested.
Axol Assist started because the web kept assuming everyone interacts with it the same way, and the tools meant to help were either buried in OS settings or priced out of reach. We're a small, mission-driven team building practical browser tools for people who need the internet to work differently. No corporate accessibility theater. Just software that respects how you actually browse.
