Used it for ages but had to remove it, started making most pages load terribly slowly. Much better options available now.

Text color in edit box remain black/dark, (both background and text color), it will be better if font color of edit box is changed to white.

While it certainly does work with most websites, I had several cases where i could not see crucial information because it was lost, not being shown at all, so for business applications, it can be deceiving and should therefore be used with caution or avoided.
