Bohdan Mart (ID: 000000a9fdc55517) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2023 Nice, it works. But if you have Steam Deck, it's better to use Stem deck one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/show-great-on-deck-on-ste/olagniaikhbmpdgghoifgloijcndfled

Adravil U (ID: 000000628e09e748) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/16/2023 No complaints except one -- reusing grey color 3 times for 3 various badges (Pending, Silver, Platinum) is, at the very least, confusing. And since color coding is the main job of this extension, this problem makes this part of the extension not really usable. Yes, the ProtonDB website utilizes the same/similar color coding, but it also puts the text on top of it (Pending, Silver, Platinum), immediately making the color coding just optional.
