一直在用,效果还是不错的,之前一直在edge上使用,现在换到chrome,发现如果网页在后台打开,过一段时间在切过去,主题不会第一时间加载.

Won't work smoothly on current Github, large white areas on some repositories, and dark text on dark on left menu, that you can't read... for instance on the archon github, try to see .md on github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk/blob/master/archon.md The support Github link in Assistance is totally inexistent, and refers to another developer (poychang) that has not made this extension.
