Fukumoto Kodai (ID: 000000b9e0dd0609) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/11/2023 I found this extension useful. I recommend it especially to those who use their browsers in light mode. I think it would be even more useful if the following two points were added: 1. When using the browser in dark mode, the blue border of the selection should be displayed in a different color, or the color can be set by the user. I use the browser in dark mode, where the blue rectangle for selection is very difficult to see. 2. A shortcut to the search window (such as "/") would be useful. It is not a big inconvenience because Ctrl +l can be used instead, but it would be better to be able to operate it with one hand. Thanks to the developers! (non-native, Japan)
