User reviews

This does absolutely nothing. I tried it on several sites and I didn't see any lines, just a menu that showed variables to change. I don't see any explanation for what these do. I tried playing with them and there was no change. Please put some effort into this. Add instructions.

I love the principle of this Extension and I've been trying to use it as much as I can. However, it gets a little buggy. The mouse cursor and selecting text becomes distorted when the Extension is activated and you must reload the page to return to normal functioning of the page.
