Corrupted Plasma (ID: 00000070e0c2b384) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/22/2023 Have been using it for 2 years now and I've haven't gotten a single problem, its unfortunate that not all images work but 95% of the time it will. Great extension thank you so much.

Axel N. Inca (ID: 000000d16b6ba4e0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/15/2023 Tengo una pantalla muy grande y, aún así, se ve feo.

Yasmine Abdellaoui (ID: 000000fb8365a533) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/14/2023 By refreshing the page you can change the background but when you close the doc and open it again, the background is no longer the same. Here's a suggestion which would improve the extension: adding the option of uploading your own image for the background. That's really the only criticism about the extention, otherwise it's fantastic! Edit: I just learned how to change the background! Find the extention's options and you'll be taken to a tab where you can paste the URL of the background image you want to use! I rate it five stars, it's a perfect app! 😍
