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.

Your choice is saved automatically.

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

This extension has been an absolute lifesaver. I have that fantastic combo of ADHD and Dyslexia while trying to go through college. I have difficulty keeping letters in order, seeing the gaps between words, and with ADHD on top, I lose focus A LOT. The immersive reader has been my new best friend. It drowns out the rest of the content on the page, changes the font to something I can read, and highlights the word as it reads to me. My eyes are forced to keep going in the right direction. I can slow down and pay attention to what I'm reading. I don't even have to go back and read the same paragraph 5 times to understand it! The screen overlay has been outstanding for eye strain and being able to distinguish between words and spaces. The custom font and spacing for research articles have been an enormous advantage! I can actually read the research papers now and not have this daunting 2 column fine print page to squint over.All around, this has been the best purchase I've ever had. I use this every day, with every assignment. I don't even struggle with story-based questions anymore. The immersive reader helps me read, listen, and understand the question all at once. I am still exploring what I can use this with and how it can make my academic career, and I keep getting impressed with every new way I find to use it. Seriously, try it out. You won't regret it at all. Even if you don't have dyslexia or ADHD, just try it out. You might find that it helps you understand the content you're trying to learn even better!

Let me tell you, I didn't know how badly I needed this until I got it. It was much like when I got glasses, I had just assumed that was how everyone saw the world...then it wasn't. Thank you Helperbird for the efforts you put forth in this lovely extension for everyone to use. The fact that you can use so much on the free just goes to show that this is something to help aid people not just some money grab. However with the pricing it still couldn't be a money grab. Thank you all again for the efforts you put forth so others can enjoy the internet more fully.
