Recent reviews

I have specifically enjoyed this extension because it used to force my new tab to be a bright white, which I use as backlighting when I'm on a video call to help illuminate my face on calls. Now it's always a dark tab since I have dark mode enabled, so now I need to go to Wikipedia or whatever bright white site I can find to act as my backlight. There should be an _option_ to toggle between ['Light Mode', 'Dark Mode', 'System Default']. It shouldn't be forced.
