It's AMAZING! it's very subtle unlike other tracers and very smooth and clean! so satisfying too! but i would prefer a lot more customizing options.

it works great. idk what issues these other reviewers had but it works fine for me. edit: every browser update, it turns itself back on even when set to off. You guys should save and persist the previous state when it first starts instead of defaulting it to on.
