Dennis Weiershäuser (ID: 000000f632a94e2d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/23/2022 The only extension that does what it should! Hard to find it if you do not know the name!

Roy Shtayim (ID: 000000be5880e0d8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/28/2020 Very simple and easy to use. But it has one annoying bug- each time I open Brave (Chromium) it displays a white page, and only when I open ANOTHER tab is when the color I chose appears.
