Luca Hawes (ID: 000000689335cce0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/24/2023 Doesn't work

Ghita Bennis (ID: 000000940894c57f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 It worked fine for a while but now I can't even access its menu to activate it. There's some sort of compatibilty problem maybe ? When I click the icon on Chrome, only a very thin rectangle shows, a fraction of the usual activation menu and settings.

Amanda Turner (ID: 000000df3ba08e2f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/11/2023 I want to like this extension but unfortunately, it causes a bunch of problems with headings and such displaying properly. Ex: Youtube videos have incorrect titles and an app I frequently use has wrong information displayed. I don't know why it has this issue but it makes it unusable for me.
