User reviews

I forgot to update this review, was working well a few months in to 2024, now it's broken again thanks to googles B.S. Please update your extention asap, this is a prime acessabilty extention nowadays with misguided webmasters using bad fronts, light colors and overall inconsiderate design. Your extention fixes the internet! I'll check back later.
