User reviews

Aperture Laboratories Chrome extension is highly praised for its dark, minimalistic blue theme that users find easy on the eyes and visually appealing, often used for years. However, multiple users report issues with poor tab separation and difficulty distinguishing active tabs, especially after Chrome updates. The black-on-black navigation buttons reduce usability for some, and several users suggest enhanced blue accents on tab text and icons. Overall, it remains a beloved theme valued for its aesthetic and familiarity despite minor usability concerns.

Pros

Clean, easy-to-read menus and a visually appealing design with good logo visibility on new tabs.
Users appreciate the theme's alignment with Portal game aesthetics, especially the blue accents and logo.
Overall, it enhances the browsing experience with a nice balance of dark tones and electric blue details.

Cons

The separation between tabs and active tab visibility is insufficient or lacking since Chrome's interface update.
Back, forward, and refresh buttons are hard to see due to black on black coloring, reducing usability.
Some users suggest that the blue color on tab letters and icons could be more prominent for better readability.
Requests for the logo placement to be adjusted higher for better aesthetics.
Minor criticisms about minimal Portal thematic elements beyond tab background colors.
