User reviews

Absolutely essential plug-in for viewing code on GitHub in my opinion. The extension does exactly what it's supposed to do. When I'm bored I just drag the slide-bar and watch the indentation width change itself. Only potential improvement I could think of is the black extension icon doesn't really stand out if your browser had dark mode UI enabled.

It's outrageous that there isn't a setting built into GitHub for setting this. Thankfully we have industrious programmers like lukechilds that are willing to pick up the slack.
