Been looking for a good website dimmer that works well, and this ones pretty damn close & minimalistic to what I'd consider a perfect extension. I do have some input to see if the dev could hear me out for making a few adjustments; - Ability to edit the brightness for websites you already have a save for via the pinned extension menu & not having to go to the options menu to do so. What could be a good percentage during the day could be too much when its dark outside, so having the ability to quickly access that is really nice. - Adjusting saved websites; Having it adjust the percentage in real-time for websites you already have a save for, as this creates a looping cycle of "Adjust percentage, go to tab, refresh" and repeating if you dislike the new percentage. - With that is also the Options menu in general; When you have to open the "Options" tab to adjust the levels of a website, you're now making adjustments on a page that's hidden from view. It's also hard to initially find the website you're looking for if you have a long list of websites saved in the extension. - Having more than 15 website presets makes the options menu bug out & makes the websites below the first 15 clip the boundaries of the menu, making the website text illegible unless you highlight them all. - Have your presets saved within the extension itself; If "Maintain Brightness" is checked once, it will always be checked by default. Same goes with the "Apply Brightness Globally" setting, if its checked & set to 90%, every new website should start at 90% (even if you hit "Reset") and not lock you out of adjusting the percentage if the default level turns out to be inadequate.
