Colin Eberly (ID: 00000031ca9fdcbc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/15/2024 Easily the best Extensions manager hands-down. It has all the options you would need, light/dark mode, groups, etc. I can't seem to find any issue with it. One suggestion would be to be able to change the popup window size in the options. But, that's just a tiny request.
