User reviews

This one respects light or dark mode on MacOS. Light mode = white background. Darkmode = Black. Also not slated to be discontinued because of Manifest V3. Only feature I'd like added is an option to adjust the color of light & dark mode and perhaps the same pair of options again for incognito mode.
