ВАСЯ пупкин (ID: 000000979a709ec9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2020 Расширение слегка тяжеловато, конечно. Но лаконичное и удобное. Ставлю 5.

Darren Prentice (ID: 000000a08a5206fe) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/10/2018 This appears to be the only extension with a custom color feature. Love it. Thank you. Constructive criticism: - There is a flash of uncolored content when you open a new tab. This is a dealbreaker for me :\ - I'd prefer the options to be in the standard extension options menu, so it doesn't effect page load time. - I could do without the background texture feature, personally.
