User reviews

Small and compact extension, reviewed the extension code less than a minute. Works without any hassles.

OK workaround, but for the use case "hide whitespace by default but allow showing it", this extension doesn't work. The extension ignores trying to show the whitespace changes.

A real time saver, so simple yet so powerful.
