## Description

Transparent Zen makes websites transparent by applying simple, customizable styles that blend with the browser UI. The goal is to be as easy as possible for everyone to enable transparency, with a dynamic transparency feature added in version 0.2.0 that is still being refined.

The project provides Windows 11 and Linux setup instructions and prerequisites, detailing which settings to enable (such as browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser and related options) and optional components like MicaForEveryone. A growing list of supported sites demonstrates current capabilities while the feature evolves.
