Please add dark mode. My migraines can't handle the brightness.

Great extension! Would love to see some sort of statistics such as number of answers correctly answered, etc. Also if we get an answer wrong, to have that question have a higher weight of showing back up again to requiz on incorrectly answered problems. Just a few ideas to possibly make this even better!
