Dark mode would be awesome.

Good, but the data is inaccurate for my location. The humidity shown below doesn't match: 46% (expecting 68%) The temperature (currently 30°C) is untruncated. On MSN Weather, the temperature shows 30°C, but on this extension, it is 30.94°C as of writing this review. The sky conditions aren't better looking on each date.

Simple, but I can't seem to get the times shown to be correct to my location (it shows times in GMT, even after the weather prediction has updated to my location)
