Robert Smith (ID: 000000b70a12c8de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/05/2020 Hey, thanks for making this! This specific extension is the only css editor that a) "pops up" rather than opens a new window, b) is clean (nice), and; c) works for me! All the other ones don't—which is weird. Again, thanks a bunch! P.S. I really appreciate the "Add to Devtools" option. How hard would it be to get your extension into the bottom section of the devtools (Where the Styles, Event Listeners, & DOM Breakpoints are), rather than the top section? Thanks again!
