Extension summary

Most color-changing extensions require the "read and change all your data on all site" permission, which is overkill and raises privacy concerns. This particular extension does only one thing: it changes the background color of the current site, that's all.

No special permissions are required, no data is collected, and no privacy concerns.

Does nothing. Doesn't work:(
by Brittany Koabel, 2024-10-11

This extension does exactly what it claims. It changes the default background color for the current web page. It doesn't work if the web page assigns a specific style, and it resets when refreshing the page. The only feature this extension is missing (and the reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars) is the ability to save my custom color. I don't mind having to reapply the background color every time I load a new page, but I wish I didn't have to use the color picker every time, too.
