Yami Ame (ID: 000000958a221d91) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 it works :) it's a good extension but the icon is nearly invisible (when using a dark theme on chrome). The icon is green, except where it matters: in the toolbar. I changed the gray icon32.png by shrinking down icon48.png and now it's fine.
