Best extension ever!!! (I can upload it on Opera so it's even better!!)

La mejor extensión, y más con eso de que la app de Messenger para windows tiene la falla de que no te deja escribir, pues ésta extensión salvó mis ojos. Gracias!!

Works as intended. Was the first such extension that changes the scroll bars to match. Very pleased, will now proceed to forget about it.
