User reviews
Decent editor, but injects a bunch of CSS with "-ms-high-contrast" into the page, which then causes Dev Tools console errors because that's being deprecated by Edge. Microsoft should update their own extension to properly follow the new standards and remove the soon-deprecated ones per https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2024/04/29/deprecating-ms-high-contrast/

Beugue CONSTAMMENT. À chaque fois j'ai une notification qui m'indique que l'extension a eu un dysfonctionnement et qu'il faudrait "la réparer". et ce problème est là depuis au moins 1 an. C'est extrêmement pénible
