## Description

**CanvasPlus** is a free Firefox extension designed to enhance students' Canvas learning experience. It offers customizable features like dark and dim modes, custom link and sidebar colors, and layout options to personalize your interface. Navigation is streamlined with a searchable box for courses and modules, "Scroll to Bottom" and "Back to Top" buttons for quick scrolling, and a Quick Inbox popup to preview messages without losing your place.

Performance is improved with the "Speed Boost" feature that preloads links for faster loading, especially on slower connections. All features are toggle-able through an easy settings menu. CanvasPlus is open-source with active development, providing continuous improvements for students and educators.
