pretty good extension, I mostly just use it for the wider editor, the ability to un-vote things and seeing flags. I appreciate the profile background re-addition as well. (i'm @aeych2 on the site)

If you are a frequent users of Khan Academy, (like myself), especially part of the CS community, than this is the extension for you. The readdition of the backgrounds was awesome. Thank you KA extention devs!

Certainly a helpful addition to Khan Academy. I would appreciate if Khan Academy took and expanded on the features shown so easily in this extension. Until then, this will suffice. The cosmetic changes were fine, extra options are always welcome. The flag information and extended user information is helpful. The change to auto filling for color() and fill() is frustrating, however, and the auto complete menus are irritating. An additional focus on customization for features and behavior as well as the color scheme would be welcome.
