User reviews

This extension is a life saver! I only have one minor complaint which is the the button color does not become dark in dark mode.

i like is all i need it, but the design needs improvement, what i mean is a dark mode and maybe a symbol in place of the text and put it on the left of the search bar, maybe its to much ask but this would make it perfect to me.
