Ian Pan (ID: 0000007ae3f682b0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/01/2020 Absolutely essential plug-in for viewing code on GitHub in my opinion. The extension does exactly what it's supposed to do. When I'm bored I just drag the slide-bar and watch the indentation width change itself. Only potential improvement I could think of is the black extension icon doesn't really stand out if your browser had dark mode UI enabled.

Mike Boharsik (ID: 000000976f7fa85c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/30/2019 It's outrageous that there isn't a setting built into GitHub for setting this. Thankfully we have industrious programmers like lukechilds that are willing to pick up the slack.

William Taylor (ID: 000000ef1ffcee26) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2019 Works exactly how I want it, Go files look great now!

Derek Noggle (ID: 000000a4a9dc53fe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/29/2019 Works exactly as advertised. It'd be amazing if you could set tab width per file extension. I generally do 2 for JSON/YAML and 4 for everything else.
