the special tear two (ID: 000000c0697b900d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Greetings. I'd be honored to express gratitude to the designers of this extension for creating such a masterpiece. It fulfills its sole purpose of being a virtual tool to create digital sketches. However, I'd like to point out one fatal flaw; there is a limited range of colors. The color selection tool is not very pleasing to use. It's a sweet, pleasant nifty little program in which I admire, but I personally believe the restriction of colors is quite unfortunate. Kind regards.
