User reviews
As of September 1st 2024, This is one of the best QoL extension for google chrome I ever met
Finally someone using their brain and making this extension to correct the massive design flaw of the updated, nearly useless google rainbow shapes pictograph interface. Yes, one can go into chrome/flags and disable the bar, but after a new annoying useless chrome update, it is back. This actually works, finally!
