Hello. I salute the developers of Image Blur extension. I have one request for modification. In my opinion, it would be better if the background color of the icon changes to red or other colors when the extension is activated. It is inconvenient because it looks the same whether it is activated or deactivated, so I have to click the icon every time to check the status. Please help me.
