Thank you Katie Low, Kristen Oda, and Carol Yu for giving an amazing chrome extension tool for anti-suppression therapy. I liked it so much. I need one update in this extension. The colors are coming only in Red and Green only, why not Red and Blue? Because some clinics uses Red and blue anaglyphs more. If your team can able to add Red and Blue filter option, then it will be very helpful. Thank you...
