Cool but doesn"t work on Vivaldi. + Gave me chinese icons all over my browser... Very weird !

The experience is quite good overall! However, one thing I don't like is the loading screen being different from the configured theme. I'm currently using the Dracula theme, but every time I open a new tab, a loading screen with a white background appears, breaking the dark theme immersion.

In addition to the intuitive GitHub integration, it lets me add as many custom links is I'd like. 10/10
