This is probably not the developer's fault, but it doesn't seem to work in Chromium 132.0.6834.159 (Official Build). You have to enable access to file URLs and then you can activate the extension for a pdf (on file URLs only), and it still does practically nothing - the pdf's background is still white in my chromium. Presumably a breaking change occurred in chromium since last release of the extension.
