## Description

DiskInfo is a lightweight Chrome extension designed for quick and easy access to your device's partition details. It provides essential statistics like partition names, file system types (ext4, f2fs, FAT32), access types (read-only or read-write), block size, and storage usage (free, used, total). Please note that due to system limitations without root access, actual filesystems may not always be shown for some virtual partitions.

Users can personalize their experience with six vibrant color themes and enjoy material you dynamic theming available on Android 12 devices, including dynamic app icon colors that adapt to your wallpaper. DiskInfo is perfect for users who need fast partition insights on-the-go while maintaining a visually appealing interface.
