Version 3.0
Bug fixes
PS the code is really messy and poorly optimized as this is one of the first extensions I had ever written and I will do a complete rewrite of it when I get the chance for the next update. Hopefully 3.0 fixed an installation issue some users were facing but don't worry this poor state is only temporary and Version 4.0 should be much better so stay posted and I hope you like the extension :)

Dishi 2021-11-15 I've been annoyed with Windows' colors for so long, I'm so happy I've finally found a solution for it! This is so cool and flexible; it fits so well with my themes :). My only suggestion (which isn't as important as the amazing function it does) is to improve the UI.
Alexander Doak 2021-10-18 It doesn't actually work in Chrome Version 94.0.4606.81. When I perform a CTRL-F search, the standard orange color is still applied. Only when I hit escape to close the search box do I see the new color. And that color disappears as soon as I click anywhere on screen, which is not what happens when the CTRL-F search box is still open. So this doesn't come close to working as expected.
Sydney the Unknown 2021-03-12 Really neat, the colors were cool, DEFINITLY replaces the common blue your computer always has. However, whenever I close Google Chrome, the color doesn't save. So when I come back, the highlighting is still blue. Only temporarily does the color change. Please fix this problem, as it was really nice except for the "saving" issue.
BravoFoxtrot LLC 2020-09-27 I love the extension, however i cannot give more then 3 stars as every time I close the browser i have to reset and save my highlight colors. Most annoying to set it up, and then have to set it up again and again and again.
Berkay Yigit 2020-02-18 It works, but disables and resets itself after you relaunch Chrome.
